ISLAMABAD: A mob attacked a police station in the capital on Monday night in an attempt to lynch a man detained on a charge of blasphemy.
Senior police officers told Dawn that dozens of villagers wielding batons and iron rods attacked the Golra police station, asking the police for the custody of the suspect held for investigation into a complaint lodged against him on a blasphemy charge.
Acting on the complaint when law enforcers brought the suspect to the police station, scores of people gathered at its gate that the personnel had locked to keep the angry villagers outside. However, they managed to enter the police station after overpowering the guards.

Attempt to lynch blasphemy suspect foiled

The officials said they started damaging the offices of moharrar, investigating officers and the station house officer (SHO).
During the attack, the policemen tried to protect themselves as well as the suspect by locking themselves up in the lock-up and other rooms. They then sought help from a police contingent. Upon getting information, police reinforcement, including personnel of counterterrorism department, anti-terrorist squad and anti-riot unit reached the spot and rescued the staff.
They resorted to excessive teargas shelling and baton-charged the protesting villagers who also put up resistance. However, after over an hour-long effort, the police succeeded to disperse them and get the police station vacated.
It was not confirmed till the filing of this report late into night how many policemen were injured in the attack.
While there was a complete blackout in the police station and its vicinity, the police shifted the man suspected of committing blasphemy to an undisclosed location under strict security.
The police cordoned off the locality and various police teams were patrolling the area on foot while all routes leading to the police station were sealed. ATS, CTD and ARU contingents were deployed at all the sealing points.
Assistant Inspector General of Police Mohammad Usman Tipu said there was information about the attack on the Golra police station, but “let things get clear and we will share details”.

Why are desis so highly emotional about religion ?

Would this lynch mob ever attack some feudal or a TTP leader ?

 

[jamahir]

religion is the cause of most evil in this world.

Well, Christianity and Islam came to simplify things but sadly many of their adherents have fallen prey to idiotic feelings.

Arrest all and have them charged. The irony is that they go out to cause violence in the name of Islam but ignore what the faith says about jurisprudence and giving people a fair hearing.

It will only work if the law is amended to punish the accuser if the defendant is proven not guilty. Until that happens cretins will keep using this law to their own benefit.

Being accused of blasphemy in Pakistan is basically a death sentence, eventually some nutjob will get to you

Just like the "presumption of eating beef" in India.

Not going to support either action. People shouldn't take law in their own hands.

 

[TNT]

These brain dead turds should have been shot at sight. See this is what the stupid mullah have done, destroyed the beautiful religion. If the accused is handed to police then who gave right to a mob to do justice?? Which part of Islam is that. Its astonishing how these ppl use pure unislamic and barbaric ways to do something they call Islamic. These are the same goats that go out for "khatm e nabuwat" and destroy property of poor muslims and will never ever follow the teaching of that same Prophet SAW. These people need to be dealt harshly. These are the Pakistani version of RSS hindutva extremists.

you kidding me?
the religious fury of mob is reserved for poor and weak only.

Not really, I eat beef/pork/chicken and living just fine. Such incidents have happened in few places, doesn't mean it happens everywhere and with anyone. Rightwings will find many ways to target normal people, doesn't matter you eat beef or not.

Lets not derail this thread with how "Mahan" your neighborhood is, plenty of evidence / dead bodies, that says otherwise.

Yes, Salman Taseer:

Mobs do try to lynch religious leaders too, when some one from some different sect highlights the blasphemy done by some other sect religious leader, so what really was the point of question there?

Lots of people eat beef/pork in the country. India is also one of the major beef exporters. Not everyone gets killed for eating beef.

Exporting Buffalo meat is not equal to exporting Cow (read not bull) meat. Go sell your BS somewhere else.

True, only Muslims, in a nazi state.

Not for long, give BJP a little more time then every one who eats beef will get lynched, especially if he is a muslim or a dalit.

‘We Will Ban Cow Slaughter In States Where It Is Still Legal’

Gradually, we are hoping that when these cattle are in good shape, people will come and adopt them. We will also experiment with the idea of making these shelters independent by using the available cow dung and urine available there. This will also bring awareness among people that even if a cow is not producing milk, it can help a family earn Rs 400-500 through the sale of its products. This will change society's mindset towards stray cattle. It is a slow process and in the next five years we will try and achieve all this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well this is work in progress, so they have already found the consumers of cow dung and cow urine. So yeah in not so far future it will be banned in whole of India, its just matter of time
