The CII members also suggested amendments to the countrys blasphemy laws, proposing the death penalty for people convicted of making false accusations. All the religious scholars agreed to put an end to the misuse of blasphemy laws, Allama Tahir Ashrafi told news agency AFP.
Keeping in view the suggestions of human rights activists and civil society members, the Council of Ideology has decided to fix the same penalty for the person who falsely accuses of blasphemy as the accused, he added. Ashrafi said the proposed amendment would ensure that nobody dares to use religion to settle personal scores. The amendment will also silence critics of the blasphemy laws, he added.

This is a good step but doesn't go far enough, we need to keep pushing for further amendments.
