Funny. Now law targetting own favourites.
Actually he was booked, went on media and apologized. He has been forgiven but not Asia Bibi, the poor Christian women who should not have been blamed in the first place. Unfortunate that Mullahs in Pakistan keep crossing all limits of bigotry. Only God will deal with them inshallah.
