ET: LAHORE:
The Lahore High Court on Wednesday granted bail to an Ahmadi man alleged to have committed blasphemy.
The case relates to an FIR lodged at Old Anarkali police station on February 24 under Sections 295B (defiling the Holy Quran) and 298C (an Ahmadi calling himself a Muslim) against unnamed people.
The FIR was lodged on the application of Advocate Rana Muhammad Tufail on behalf of his client Muhammad Mazhar. He said that his client had visited a shop namely Altaf Book Binding in order to get his diary bound. He said that there were many books and copies of the Holy Quran at the shop. When he looked through some of them, he found blasphemous material in them, he alleged.
Mazhar then called Police 15 and they seized “many objectionable books” from the shop. He asked the police to take action against the publishers, binders, proofreaders, retailers and all others involved in the process of publishing and distributing the books.

Kudos to taking the courageous step to grant bail to innocent ahmadi man accused of blasphemy. It’s strange only blasphemy incidents are happening in Pakistan, no other Islamic country reports of these. accusing someone of blasphemy is one way to take control of his property, business, house, lucrative business, take revenge or settle old scores. God will bring another Kamal Ataturk to this part of the world soon.
