Gujranwala, Punjab: July 10, 2009. (PCP report) Angry Christians blocked GT Road for two hours during protest against burning homes of hundred Christians here on July 9, 2009. The Christians gathered in local churches and prayed for victims of Bahmin Wala village where Muslim mob attacked Christian on accusation of blasphemy on June 30, 2009.
