The nation needed an accepted position on such concerns. Hence the fines for not outwardly conforming to the national church.”

“Those who suffer from the abuse of drugs have themselves to blame for it. This does not mean that society is absolved from active concern for their plight.

“However, after the assassination of Salman Taseer, the killer of Salman Taseer was welcomed by the religious fanatics. And they showered rose petals on him and declared him a hero of Islam.

And this is encouragement for other people to take lives with their own hands and kill innocent people.”
