Dawn: Police say they are investigating whether a cleric who allegedly tried to frame a Christian girl for blasphemy should be charged with insulting Islam himself.
Police officer Munir Jafferi said officials registered the blasphemy case against Khalid Jadoon Chishti on Monday.
Police arrested Chisti on Saturday after a member of the cleric’s mosque accused him of stashing pages from the copy of the holy Quran in the girl’s bag to make it seem like she burned pages containing verses from the holy book.
Chishti has denied the allegation.

In the case under discussion the ‘blood money’ would be the Mullahs agreeing to the repeal of the Blasphemy laws.

This is the only suitable “retaliation,” in which is the security of Pakistani nation, O men of understanding.
Absolutely true!
