23 Nov, 2015

FAISALABAD: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sana Ullah Khan said here on Monday that accused involved in committing blasphemy in Jehlum had been arrested.

Hence, there is no need to exploit this incident which is purely an act of an individual.

Talking to the media, he said that immediately after the incident in Jehlum, the police and the administration took prompt action while Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif had also taken notice of the incident.

The police arrested the culprit involved in committing blasphemy act, however, it is very unfortunate that some forces are exploiting the situation for their vested interests and trying to create law and order situation, he added.

He said the government was committed to wipe out sectarianism and terrorism in the country and media should also play a positive role to discourage the elements trying to play up the petty issues for their vested interests.

He said that it was the duty of every individual as well as collective responsibility of the civil society and political parties to come forward to support the government agenda and to make Pakistan prosperous.
