The scholars appreciated the measures taken across the division to protect the Majlis and Zul-Jinah processions during Muharram. The Christian leaders expressed concern over the cases of blasphemy law being used for personal gain and appealed to set up a fool-proof mechanism to prevent such incidents so that no victim is abused and those in the minorities. End the atmosphere of fear. Commissioner Shoaib Iqbal Syed said that no society or country can develop without peace, so it is important that every individual should continue to work hard to establish peace and end hatred to give a better Pakistan to the next generation.
