The problems with this law will be the same as those under the Blasphemy laws - false accusations, undeserved imprisonments etc.FYI:
The law passed on July 22 makes “desecration” of any prophet, any of the four divine books, family and companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as well as abetting or glorification of terrorists, and promoting sectarianism in any book punishable with a maximum of five-year jail terms and up to Rs500,000 fine.
In other words; Christians and Jews are covered in this bill.
WE are not insulting Pakistani hindus either. They are Pakistani to begin with.
Is there a provision in this law to punish those making false accusations?
Is there a provision that no one accused under this law will be arrested or prevented from being published etc until a proper investigation is performed by the relevant authorities and all appeals processes exhausted?
These kinds of laws are meant to be abused, and we have decades of abuse under the guise of the Blasphemy laws to prove that point.
