Utho, Jago, Pakistan

Pakistan, what is going on ? Why are you getting so intolerant day by day? Why are you targeting moderates with these unlawful laws? Where are your priorities? The other Cheif Justice spoke about the law, hope he completely abolishes the law. Hope common sense prevails.

Hope she will not be treated like a governor Salman teacher..

There is no other work for the courts, police and the lazy people except searching for blasphemy in everything and enjoying people suffer. A rotten country and a laughing stock before civilised world.

Geo must know that Veena Malik was wanted by ISI for what she did in India... having knowing that if Geo did all this and more importantly in this programme they have attributed those holly verses to Veena and her boy friend then geo must be punished for this heinous crime. we can bear anything but no compromise on our basic belief and for Prophet (PBH) family NEVER... can die but no compromise. they must be crushed for having such shameful courage.

What is Shaista's fault in all this. How in the world the guest like Veena (Which I hate with passion), and her husband knew which Qawali are they going to play. I mean come on, does anyone in the whole nation has any type of sanity left or not.

Why no arrests still? FIR should not have taken so long.

Every wrong doer should be punished. It is the only way society can be cleansed.

though its nothing to do with Pakistan, but such intolerance and behaviour in religion is the reason that leads to the birth and views of someone like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, yeah Google her name. if you do not fix yourself, show tolerance or you be responsible for keeping many away from the seeing the true shape of faith. your attitude is giving the notion that Islam is inherently violent. D you need more education on religion? ask for it !!! stop acting like a monkey every a banana falls.

For Allah's sake and for the Prophet's sake, stop this nonsense. To begin with, the blasphemy laws are un-Islamic so the parliament needs to have courage to repeal them. GEO program was in poor taste as well as insulting to us Muslims. GEO should be warned by PEMRA and if GEO persists then it's license should be cancelled

Geo and Jang are doing corruption with this country. They also defamed media in this poor country. This group now needs to be put into limits which it is crossing for long. They do not even have sense of responsibility on national security. I think displeasure of Allah Almighty is also helping Pakistani to identify black sheeps in media groups.

it is controversial what that has to do with the FIR..in senate and assemblies lot of controversial issues are tackle. should they cut FIR against each other. are we living in a totalitarian society.If journalism is good, it is controversial, by its nature.Exposing any subject that is unpleasant or controversial means risking judgment and making some people feel uncomfortable. it happens all the time and that should not be the cause to shut down the media...

Pakistan should ban all TV channels on Blasphemy laws. Because Pakistan's all channel shows Indian Songs and Movies.

@Ravi Dallas TX if we say a word against hindu idols in india then the whole mob would arise dressed in yellow and orange and destroy Babari Masjid, kill babies and women with a second thought. Pakistani are literate enough to follow the law as reported above. When it comes to selling religion everybody gets emotional so dont put stupid remarks here.

@asgher Thanks for an excellent reply. The societies are themselves intolerant and when something is said about Islam, they teach us moderation.

I think Management of Geo got mad. Geo's management miserably failed to understand the difference in between it's episode and ARY telecast of "Man'qabat". Firstly, we want to clear that we have no objection over the poetry (Manqabat) which is praised for Hazrat Ali AS and Hazrat Fatima AS. What is objectionable is the way and style, it was pictured including guest's and host's gestures having shoes in her both hands immediately after a snap shot of Quran Sharif which gives a derogatory messages to its viewers and of course attract Blasphemy Act. Secondly, In the ARY episode, we didn't find any objectionable contents as we had witnessed in the GEO's episode. In ARY show, All participants kept quite with respects and regards. It is our sincere advise to Geo's Board of Editorial to revisit its policies instead of finger pointing on others. They should know that two wrong things can not make one right. Lastly, they can not make an excuse in their defense for breach of law merely on the basis of other un apprehended and unchecked law breaker. They should be held responsible for their own mistakes. We the overseas Pakistani are of the firm opinion that Geo should immediately be banned because post actions of Geo's management after the subject Morning show doesn't suggest us that they have any regret for its mistake and they didn't learn any lesson from their mistakes thus Geo should immediately be banned.

@Farrukh in your view who is responsible?

Should it not be blasphemous to use the Blasphemy Law to serve one's business interests ????

My social liberty stops where that of my neighbour

@Qamar Naqvi : I may agree with your senitments; however, please do not call them ALL overseas Pakistanis' views. These are your views.

@Ravi Dallas TX What would you do if someone makes fun of your Lord Ram and Sita, knowingly or unknowingly, Would you say that it is allowed under freedom of speech or something else crap. When you don't understand the basic of Islam then please keep quiet.

Utho, bhago, Pakistan.

Suddenly frequent killings accusing Blasphemy, FIR against 68 lawyers and now FIR against GEO do not seem coincidental. Something BIG is about to come................

Suffocating, where will this end.

@asgher : Can I tell you how many temples has been destroyed in pakistan in last 60 yrs? How many minorities dying on regular basis? how many hindus are migrating into pakistan due to persecution. You people always in denial mode. Grow up

@Ravi Dallas TX - It is nice what you said and we appreciate it but please watch your own backyard more than your neighbor's

Please abolish the blasphmy law in Pakistan.

@Azfar It is a pity that this show was taken off air for its alleged blasphemous content, and was not shut down earlier for its shallow talk, fake laughters, and purposeless chit-chat. Who is by the way producer of this program? Is there such a thing like a written script? Any directorial review before airing the content? Or is it just one cameramen with the presenter, and live transmission? I think someone should also add wilfull murder of reason, sanity and sobriety in the FIR against them as well.

@Qamar Naqvi What foreign country are you living in? Why not come back to Pakistan and fully live the ideals that you believe in?

nation is over obssessed with tv shows....don't have any other things important in life

those who are responsibilities should be punished with extreme force so later no one can do such shameful act.

The Mullah-Army alliance is well and good and clearly allied and very visible against the press here. Pakistanis needs to be mindful or they will lose their civil freedoms. The less said about Imran Khan the better. The man seems to have lost his moral compass.

@zubair malik so correct you are...no one is bothered about food, water, electricity

@Qamar Naqvi so your great microanalysis is going to resolve any real problem that Pakistan faces....food, electricity, water....get real

@Danish, yeah it's called Martial Law. It's coming very soon. Geo, ARY and their ilk are anti state, anti religion and anti morality. They are pro India, pro Bollywood and pro Hindu culture. It's about time we take our country back from these liberal, drunkard agents of India.

Very easy and simple solution to Pakistan's problems. Ban all these liberal pro Indian channels like ARY snd GEO. Ban Indian media in Pakistan, period!! I have never seen another example like this in the world, where one country is so shamelessly obsessed with the media and culture of it's worst enemy. Indian public and it's government has left no doubt in anyone's mind about their feelings and intentions about Pakistan. Unfortunately Musharaf "Dehlvi" and Zardari (the agent of India), worked on the Indian plan to destroy Pakistan from within. They never exposed Indian agents and plans that were supporting terrorist all over Pakistan.

The monstrous blasphemy law. We Pakistani muslims thought it will only be used against non-muslim minorities, so we dint care. Even we were seeing how its being misused, we kept quite. Now this law is coming to haunt us muslims too. War between two channels (ARY and GEO) is causing this stir. Usually the law was misused by muslims against non-muslims due to their personal disputes. Now this law is used by one muslim group (ARY) against another muslim group (GEO), just to gain more power. Its all the game of power and money, now we will see individual muslims will also start misusing this law against other muslims due to their personal disputes....shame on us.

@Malikpur Janderbari Abbottabad Agree 100%

this country is doomed where they make things up in the name of blasphemy .First of all if you are so sensitive then punish the poet who wrote such non-sense ,punish all those who sing this in their weddings (and it is a common practice in many weddings in pakistan particularly shia weddings).if you cannot punish them then dont make uproar just because it was telecast by Geo and now a days everybody is against Geo and nobody is doing it because it is a non-sense poetry and many qawals sing it every day all over pakistan ---this is a stupid nation---I can only say an obituary of this nation---shame where everybody is not practicing islam and have no sensitivity for non-practice which is the real insult /blasphemy yet they become hypersensitive for every other absurd thing---if you really care about islam,rasool and sahaba,start practicing and following them and for sure prophet and hazrat ali ,fatima and all sahaba never practice qawali so if you love them quit this falsehood and charge them under blasphemy

@Qamar Naqvi Who appointed you spokesperson for all overseas Pakistanis? We hang our head in shame every time someone is sentenced to death for blasphemy. incendiary approach to religion will destroy this nation. No news comes out of Pakistan that can make us proud.

@Revolution I do not think it is Martial Law, it seems a much bigger international plot costing us US$ 1.5 B or more.

@asgher there may be fringe elements in India. But, such lunaticism is not institutionalized.

i think govt should take the action, so that people should know that what are the limits . . to day every one want to be moderate by doing and saying such nonsense things .

Ideologies that cannot be supported by logic need to be defended by intolerance and by an oppressive suppression of expression of views. But once intolerance becomes the accepted norm for a society, it completely destroys the social fabric that holds the people together. This is what we are experiencing in Pakistan today

Here come back the blasphemy laws suppose to oppress one particular minority, are taking its toll on the media. Same media either remained silenced or never raised its voice forcefully enough when these laws

@Shahbuddin, Lahore The so called "civilized" world that you refer to... has now also banned such speech against people and holy figures.

This country is sliding a very steep downhill slope to complete chaos and this slope keeps getting steeper every day. From awaam to hukumraan everything and everyone is responsible and no one is willing to accept our problems. First and foremost we must rid ourselves of religious extremism.
