You are useless Mehar Bukhari. YOu are inciting terrorism.

 

[Teacher]

yes mehar you are right, 3 days or 45 days was an ultimatum from nawaz shareef but he does not know the meaning of targetted threat thats why majority of this country know him an illitrate person and musharraf had already said like "nawaz shareef farighul baal hey" but mehar you must not be allergic from mqm because your most of the programmes highlighting such impressions dont be only punjab or nawaz centric. For the future avoid discussing taseer and throw your thinking away regarding blasphamy we suggest you must impose ban on this topic in your programmes because we had already visited youtube website regarding your character.

Thanks meher nice to see you back and good programme.I will agree with mr.ahsan iqbal's views because they are very valid points raised by PML-N which by the way i have been raising for the last two years but no one was listening. Now Mr.NS wake up from his deep sleep all of a sudden and demanded from the govt to fulfill their 10 points where were he for the last three years when people labelled him as a friendly opposition,its fine at least he realized the dreadful situation in the country when US is more upset from our economic and law and order situation than the govt and opposition .If the govt at least start taking some serious steps now ,its still time to stabilize the country-all we need is a "will" and 'honesty".I hope Mr.PM will give his serious consideration to these 10 points and try to bring the country out of turmoil. Now i come to the 295C .Mr.Munawar Hassan said this law was made in 1986 and 964 cases registered ,out of those 479 were muslims but no one got punishment, all of them got free so what happened to those who put the false charges were not questioned at all .All those 479 went to jail and their lives were ruined because of these charges,some of them got killed while in courts he did't mentioned.why muslims will insult his own prophet unless he is out of his mind,second why minorities will do that in a muslim country.Bill 295C opened the door for personel vendetta and lots of innocents paid the price with their lives.Just recently one in gujranwala who was Hafze Quran and one muslim mill owner in faisalabad who fired his employee for not doing the job properly but the employee went to the mosque and said the mill owner insulted our prophet -people came with iron bars and wooden stick and killed the mill owner without verifying the facts.Mr.M.Hassan did't mentioned these incidents. Groups of people went to Godhra and Gojra,burned the churces , bibles and killed many christians because someone blame one christian for blashpemy so the whole community paid the price but unfortunately not a single person was arrested for these crimes. First of all ,is it right in our religon.Not a single religous ulema said anything against this heinous crimes which took the lives of christians.Bible is their holy Book like our Quran so who is resoponisible for this. To me our maulvis are using religon for politics because its their bread and butter,their attitude towards the minorities is very racist and prejudiced.Lets keep the bill 295C but make a law in the parliament who ever label blashphemy false charges against anyone and if proved wrong will face death sentence.It will certainly stop the misuse of this law.Constitution already have the blasphemy law before 1986 but only 295C was introduced by gen ZIA and everyone knows what happened to him?

Maher u have lost credibidity. I think you are just after your rating.

I watched a programme on Asia Bibi and the amendments in Blasphemy Law on 30th November at News Beat and the programme host was Mehar Bukhari of Samaa TV. It is interesting to note that she has invited 2 senior journalists Saeed Chaudhry and Haroon Rasheed to justify that Blasphemy Law is right, and to criticize the people who are helping Asia Bibi. It is the duty of Anchor to ensure that the defending party should be given equal opportunity to speak his/her point of view. Nevertheless it seems she was failed to provide enough time to Federal Minister Shahbaz Bhatti to clarify the questions, even her character was more critical than others. It was not hidden she favoured her fellow journalist. Don’t you think this is yellow journalism? Biased Anchor?
Secondly Haroon Rasheed doesn’t know how to respect to the most respectable person amongst the Catholic Christian, (POP) and he is also the head of the State. How many times he or any one from you speak about any Muslim leaders? I would salute to Shahbaz Bhatti who listened patiently. I am sure if the similar remark comes from him you would have involved him in another blasphemy case or might be possible he would have killed in the studio.
Prove yourself to be a real Pakistani journalist, understands the realities. Haroon Rasheed said the pardon initiative is taking place under the pressure from Human Rights and Foreign Call. However he forgot the history, all the important issues whether it was a matter of justice to Mukhtarian Bibi, issue of Burning Quran, war in Iraq or Afghanistan are all raised by the foreign countries and NGOs. None of the Muslim countries involved? How many times Saudi Arabia stood with you on any of the above issues? You have to be thankful to the West atleast they help you raise your voices.
As far as raising the voices against Iraq & Afghan wars are concerned, I believe they both do not read English newspapers and watch English news channels, the western countries protested and agitated more than any Islamic Countries. Can anyone give us an example of Saudi Arabia – How many times they have raised these issues? How many Muslim countries raised voice for Afia Siddique’s release? This is only Pakistan who takes the responsibility of whole Muslim countries and these Muslim courtiers do not care what is happening with them.
Mehar has raised 3 or 4 times this question that why the blasphemy matter always raised in the PPP Government. The question is very simple who had the guts and courage to raise the voice at the time of Nawaz and Zia’s government, who were architect of these clauses. As far as Musharaf’s government is concern 75% people were from PML & MMA who were the part of its implementation at the time of Nawaz and Zia’s government.
Asia is a Pakistani and no matter what religion she has?. This is state’s responsibility to protect her. I would like to remind you that 295 B & 295 C were not included in the Pakistan Penal Code until 1986 and Christians live together with the Muslims like brothers and sisters before Pakistan came in 1947. There was no problem until 1986 and since 1927 till 1986 only 7 cases were reported of blasphemy.
It is not hidden from any one that 295 B, 295 C and such clauses were deliberately included in the Pakistan Penal Code to achieve the political support. Pakistan’s late dictator, Gen. Mohammed Zia ul-Haq in order to maintain his Govt, he created Federal Council (Majlis-e-Shura) consisting of such persons as the President may, by Order, determine. This Shura consisted of like minded people as they were selected not elected. As I stated above he needs to protect his seat thus he was on the mercy of their decisions, and the blasphemy law and other Islamic clauses included in the Pakistan Penal Code to gratify them.
In 1986 General Zia revised it again to be more strictly in accordance with the Sharia, and finally in 1992 it was revised again when the death penalty was made mandatory under the democratically-elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. History also showed that his successor Mian Nawaz Sharif ex Prime Minister of Pakistan followed his footsteps.
The October 1990 elections brought the Islamic Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI) into power. In addition to a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, the alliance acquired control of all the four provincial assemblies and enjoyed the support of the military and the President. Mohammad Nawaz Sharif, as leader of the Pakistan Muslim League, the most prominent party in the IJI, was elected Prime Minister by the national assembly. He emerged as the most secure and powerful Pakistani Prime Minister since the mid-1970s.
The Pakistani Islamic Blasphemy law, Section 295/C of the Pakistan Penal Code, is vague and susceptible to abuse, but carries a mandatory death penalty, with practically no right to bail and is, therefore, inherently oppressive, unjust and unethical. It is widely abused as an instrument for terrorizing political opponents and members of religious minorities, and for settling political, sectarian and petty rivalries. This is nothing less than religious terrorism through the abuse of the state apparatus and the civil law.
Pakistani Christians thought after the Gojra incident false blasphemy cases should be stopped henceforth. However, this is not the case as the culprit behind such pictures never punished? Why they are not punished because of biased anchors and journalists who are behind them.
How can we return Asia’s 2 years which she spent in the Jail?
