I for one do not believe that any party in power will support attack on the poorest and most economically deprived community, the Pakistani Christians. However, appointing an ultra-bigot Rana Sanaullah as Law Minister also responsible for security in Punjab is like appointing a well-known thief as chief guard of the treasury! This incident merely shows incompetence of the PML-N government not their collusion.
Attack on minorities is nothing new. There have been numerous attacks on Churches and Christians bear the brunt of blasphemy laws. This is also not the first mob violence against the Christian community as a whole. In November 2005, a mob attacked Churches & Salvation Army quarters in Sangla Hill. In 2009 mob attacked Christians in Gojra and now the Badami Bagh.
In his interview on BBC that Rana Sana Ullah says that this incidence occurred because people became emotional! For Heavens sake, does he mean to say that the crowd was justified? If I get emotional it okay for me to burn houses of the whole community!
Christians were justified booing Rana Sana Ullah off the area; it is partly his patronage of the militants that is the root cause of this crime against humanity. Since PML-N is likely to be in power in the Centre and most certainly in Punjab after the next elections; I can bet my bottom dollar that we will see more of the same in the foreseeable future.
Finally, law & order and compassion for fellow humans doesnt rest with the govt alone but is also responsibility of the society as a whole. Whether it be Ahmadis or Christians, Shias or the graves of the Saints, these days almost any crime can be forgiven if committed in the name of Islam. When lawyers & judges make cold blooded killer Qadri, a hero of Islam, what do you expect from a man on the street? Intolerance & bigoted mind-set is such that only outlet for the anger manifests thru killing, burning and destruction of public & private property. A hall mark of the savages, not of a civilised society. The malaise has steeped deep in the fabric of the society.
I repeat what I have said it before; Pakistan may the land of pure, but majority of the people living therein are not worthy of being called Human beings
