Sir: Recently, a local judge in Nankana sentenced a Christian woman to death for committing blasphemy on the complaint of a few Muslim villagers. The truth of the matter is that Aasia Bibi had gone to fetch water from the same well where the other women were filling up their pitchers. An altercation developed and thus the blasphemy complaint. One has to painfully lament the insensitivity of our society and the press, especially the TV channels, towards the deplorable court judgement against Aasia Bibi.
There is a ‘Nankana demon’ in every household of our country, thanks to the political expediency of wretched men like General Ziaul Haq, his evil ilk and the fat foreign-fed mullahs. Our society and its psyche has been thoroughly vulgarised into beastliness by this malevolent horde. There are so-called highly educated households where only religious channels and the like are allowed and no books of literature, music or objects of fine art can be seen anywhere. Our middle class has not only been marginalised but also more seriously intellectually perverted, rather stunted.
