Ghotki: July 27, 2016. (LEAD) A Hindu reportedly insane man, Amar Lal, has been booked over blasphemy charges. Lal has been accused of allegedly desecrating Islamic holy book Quran. On Tuesday July 26, Lal was caught by local Muslims allegedly desecrating the Islamic holy book outside a mosque. Police claims Lal is suffering from psychotic disorder.
Followed by the blasphemy incident, the local Muslims shut down their shops in retaliation against the alleged accused. The religious groups called for a shutdown, daily activities remained suspended in the entire district as a result of the call. The enraged Muslims blocked National highway and damaged public property, which caused the huge traffic jam.
Police had also hooked about 18 people over charges of damaging public property during the agitation. Local Hindu community remained fearful and remained shutting inside their homes. The situation became tense while Member of Provincial Assembly asked people to remain calm and avoid violence.
"The agitation is too much because the alleged accused belongs to religious Hindu minority. Blasphemy law is a fire which burns the many innocents”, said Sardar Mushtaq Gill, Human Rights Defender who was forced to go into hiding after receiving death threats.
