Salman Taseer got killed – right or wrong, only Allah knows but the only mistake made by him was voicing his opinion before the court verdict! At least, he was not hypocrite like other politicians of Pakistan especially the heads of many of religious-political parties in Pakistan! He was culturally Muslim, as he has told to his son, Aatish Taseer, years before when he met with him the night when Benazir Bhutto got killed – 27th Dec 2007! This means his knowledge about Islam was little less than the common men and he wasn’t practicing Muslim. You might have seen on number of occasions, the governor of Punjab, Salman Taseer, offering Eid prayers in front row, with true Pakistani dress and Jinnah cap, might have given you the feeling that he is religious person. But the fact is that, it is part of culture on such occasions; Eid ul Fitr, eid ul Adha, Muharram, and funeral prayers. And anyone shows his presence doesn’t mean that he is ideologically Muslim like Munawar Hassan of Jamat e Islami or Kukab Noorani of Gulzar e Habib! So Salman Taseer was Muslim in that cultural sense! There are number of cases registered against so many Christians in Punjab under blasphemy law. This means that someone went to Police station with two evidences, in some cases without any evidence, and registered a case that so & so person had used ‘bad language’ against our beloved Holy Prophet (sallahu alyhay wasallum) and hence Police catch that person and register the case under this law! Aasia bibi case is same, she is charge under blasphemy and the case was registered by a Molvi sahab after 21 days of incident, as the FIR says! The whole episode started when Muslims ladies refused to sit with her while taking food and refrain themselves to take water from the hands of Aasia bibi because she is Christians! This had offended Aasia and she made few remarks about Muslims. After three weeks of this incident the case was registered against her and under real pressure from fanatics she was given a verdict – to be hanged by session court! Indeed, High court or Supreme Court would take notice of this case and the truth shall come out insha Allah! But the governor of Punjab, Salman Taseer, when brought to his knowledge, rushed to jail, met with Aasia and issued a press statement becoming emotional and termed ‘blasphemy law’ as black law. This was his mistake, made under heavy emotions! He should have used his words carefully. Blasphemy law is not a black law, we all believe in the respect of our beloved Holy Prophet, and none of the Muslim could even think about it in his dreams! Same is the case with Salman Taseer too, he didn’t utter single word about Holy Prophet (sallahu Alyhay wasallum) but refuted the law unwisely even after knowing the fact that fanatic groups in rural areas are much more powerful than the imaginations of Govt of Pakistan! He has paid the price of his mistake! There is no comparison between Ghazi Alam Deen Shaheed and Mumtaz Qadri. Ghazi alam Deen had killed a publisher who had penned down the dirtiest book about the Holy Prophet of Islam whereas Salman Taseer didn’t say single word against the Holy Prophet as he was Muslim. His statement was about the law in reference that it is used against Christians’ only in Pakistan. With this reference he has termed it as black law! Pakistani nation, as a whole, is always misguided – some times by politicians, many times by religious leaders, and sometimes by International powers! Mumtaz Qadri is being taken as hero by such religious groups who have other agenda! A simple fact is not considered here is that ‘the right of justice is with courts, not with individuals.’ Those lawyers, who are pretending Mumtaz Qadri as Alam Deen Shaheed, should learn to respect law first! They should give chance to Higher & Supreme Courts first to trail Salman Taseer rather than individuals to kill anyone as per their personal justice! Hudood ordinance, even though had been drafted with utmost care, Ulemas like Mufti Taqi Usmani got involved in its formulation, but whole world knows that it is misused badly. Approximately 23,000 women are in jail under this law; adultery cases which they didn’t commit, and their children are also with them! Our Police & Judicial system is so corrupt that an innocent person may stay there for ever! Thus, any law made by man, is always needs review! Probably, that was the reason that divine revelations have been sent, and when they became distorted by men, Holy Quran was revealed!
