Shaan Taseer booked for 'hate speech' following Christmas message



LAHORE:

An FIR was registered on Saturday against Shaan Taseer, son of slain Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer, for alleged ‘hate speech’ after he sent a greeting out to fellow countrymen on the occasion of Christmas.


Islampura police station received an application from its SHO Nasir Hameed and subsequently booked Shaan under Section 295-A of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) without naming him in the report.

However, religious organisation Sunni Tehreek is pressing the police to register a case against Shaan under Section 295-C of PPC.

Personality of the year: Shahbaz Taseer

According to the SHO, he received a video message in a USB wherein a man was wishing his viewers Merry Christmas and requesting fellow countrymen to pray for minority members being exploited by, what he called, the “inhumane blasphemy law”.

The man also requested prayers for blasphemy victims including Asia Bibi, Nabeel Masih and their families, and all other Pakistanis languishing in jails on charges of blasphemy, the SHO added.

According to the FIR, the man who made the speech in the video had made a mockery of the blasphemy law and hurt religious sentiments of Muslims.

Talking to The Express Tribune, Shaan said, “The state [seems to be] retreating whenever or wherever the mob appears to exact blood for imagined slights. Whereas the state should come into action when violent mobs arise [but] it retreats and even assists it. To find hate speech in today’s Pakistan not in the ranks of the ASWJ or the Lal masjid but in a Christmas message is the stuff of satire. It reminds me of a 50 50 skit.”

Shahbaz Taseer recovered from Balochistan after five years in captivity

Meanwhile, Sunni Tehreek Lahore chapter president Mujahid Abdul Rasool told The Express Tribune that he had filed an application at Mughalpura police station for registration of an FIR against Shaan under Section 295-C of PPC.

He accused the police of trying to protect Shaan by registering FIR against an unidentified man despite the fact that the man in the video had introduced himself as Shaan Taseer.

Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer was attacked and killed in a firing incident in Islamabad’s Kohsar market. He was shot by one of his security guards, an elite force personnel, who has been identified as Malik Mumtaz Hussain.

Did the blasphemy law kill his father or even the woman his father was vouching for? What an Idiot Shaan is, while I am not saying he is right or wrong, he didn't learn anything from his fathers mistakes and trying to shove his nose in an affair where it doesn't belong.
 
His father was an idiot.
And I will not surprise if his son will follow up his steps and end up in similar way. :tsk:
 
He is not booked for Christmas message! Such lies cannot help this group in their heinous plots.

He again barked against the Blasphemy Law due to which he is booked. Such idiots should be jailed for provoking the society.
Yeah and the hari pagri tagays should be allowed to kill without a trial
 
Whats the solution to blasphemy problem do the people like Shaan Taseer propose ?
Should there be no accountability for the people who mock and insult sacred personalities of Islam ?
 
If Ahmadis try to storm a Sunni mosque, what will happen? Will the Sunnis greet them with roses and felicitations ?
Oye nasli jhoot bolnay waliu machino!!! Police, administration and every local is an evidence what your goons did there.
 
Only mirzais should be allowed to open fire on Milaad Processions and no one will touch them. Mirzay deyo chamcheyo!
Better a Marzayi ka chamcha than a terrorist supporter

Try them in courts instead of burning them in their homes or brick kilns?
 
family full of alcoholics

like father like son.
