About 20-25 Mulla’s were present in the court during the court hearing. We feel that it was pressure on the court. Therefore the court was adjourn at 10: 20 a m till 11: 30 a m as the judges wanted to think about the case or they wanted to take some time to look upon the situation. Many Christian Lawyers including Tahir Khalil Sindhu Provincial Minister for Minorities Affairs and Human Rights was also present as a defence lawyer of Asia Bibi.
