An eight-year-old Hindu boy has been charged underneath the extremely controversial and draconian blasphemy regulation in Pakistan. The youngster might presumably be staring on the dying penalty because the nation’s regulation warrants such a punishment. He is similar boy who was accused of urinating on the carpet of an area Madarsa which gave the explanation for Islamists to go after him in addition to destroy a Hindu temple, whose movies went viral earlier this month.What Hindus have needed to face for hundreds of years and nonetheless accomplish that when they’re underneath assault or grow to be minorities. Yet Hindus are known as illiberal. https://t.co/v4p7C8jaAq— Dr David Frawley (@davidfrawleyved) August 5, 2021According to a Guardian report, the eight-year-old boy is at the moment in protecting custody. His household, following the assault, has gone into hiding, fearing for its life. The surrounding Hindu households have additionally packed their luggage and left the realm.A member of the household advised the publication from an undisclosed location, “He is not even aware of such blasphemy issues and he has been falsely indulged in these matters. He still doesn’t understand what his crime was and why he was kept in jail for a week.”The member of the family added, “We have left our shops and work, the entire community is scared and we fear backlash. We don’t want to return to this area. We don’t see any concrete and meaningful action will be taken against the culprits or to safeguard the minorities living here.”Ramesh Kumar, a lawmaker and head of the Pakistan Hindu Council, stated, “The attack on the temple and blasphemy allegations against the eight-year-old minor boy has really shocked me. More than a hundred homes of the Hindu community have been emptied due to fear of attack.”After the assault on the temple, India had summoned Pakistan’s Top diplomat — Pakistani chargé d’affaires (C’dA) in Delhi and lodged a powerful protest. Arindam Bagchi, spokesperson of the ministry of exterior affairs had remarked, “firm protest was lodged expressing grave concerns at this reprehensible incident” and the “continued attacks on the freedom of religion of the minority community and their places of religious worship”.It is pertinent to notice that, not too long ago, a Ganesh temple in Pakistan’s Rahim Yar Khan space was ransacked by a blood-hungry, deranged Islamist mob in broad daylight, with no intervention from the native authorities. What made the whole incident a ‘chilling case of majority bulldozing the minority’ was the truth that it was broadcasted unashamedly on Facebook with sacred idols of Hindu Gods being smashed and desecrated, caught on digital camera.While damaging the Hindu temples and conducting an exodus of Hindu households is just not a brand new phenomenon in Pakistan, it’s certainly stunning that the Islamists are prepared to hold an eight-year-old boy to strengthen their non secular beliefs.This is just not the primary time that blasphemy regulation has been used to settle scores towards the minority populace. As reported by TFI earlier, two Christian brothers in Pakistan had been sentenced to dying after they had been charged with the Blasphemy legal guidelines in 2018. The accused brothers had been convicted for “use of derogatory remarks in respect of the Holy Prophet”, underneath the archaic blasphemy provisions of Pakistan’s penal code.Last 12 months, Khwaja Asif, a pacesetter of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz had discovered himself in scorching soup as Pakistan’s ruling celebration Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had filed a blasphemy case towards him for stating, ‘no religion is superior to the other’.In June 2020, Sajid Soomro, a Pakistani professor of Sindhi literature at Khairpur’s Shah Abdul Latif University in Sindh province, was arrested on Blasphemy costs by the Police. The professor is understood to Pakistani authorities for his dissenting views and criticisms of the nation’s strongest clerics.However, it was the Asia Bibi case that invited vital consideration in direction of Pakistan’s draconian regulation. In 2010, Asia was sentenced to dying on blasphemy costs. However, after a global outcry, she was acquitted of the stated crime. Since 2011, a complete of round 100 blasphemy instances have been registered. Moreover, round 40 individuals are ready for the dying sentences to be executed or are serving imprisonment for all times.The Islamization of Pakistan, in its true sense, started with the Zia Ul Haq regime, which was some of the lively in pushing Pakistan in direction of intense radicalism, by following the item of making a Nizam-e-Mustafa, that’s, “Rule of Prophet”.Zia Ul Haq even institutionalized the inclusion of Islamists within the judicial setup of Pakistan. Draconian legal guidelines primarily based on selling Islamisation of Pakistan such because the blasphemy regulation and several other different misogynistic legal guidelines had been enacted. His legacy stays unchallenged by the next civilian governments and therefore Pakistan, which had began off as an Islamic Republic has now radicalized itself right into a Sharia regulation State.
