Pakistan Church Attack: Now Pakistanis are wreaking havoc on Christians, fundamentalists burnt the church, know what is the reason

In Faisalabad, Pakistan, several churches were vandalized and surrounding Christian settlements ransacked after a Christian family was accused of blasphemy. The incident took place in Jaranwala district of Faisalabad on Wednesday. Local Muslims were enraged after a Christian sweeper allegedly made derogatory remarks against the Quran. Not only was his house demolished, but the mob also ransacked churches and other Christian settlements in the area. Videos on social media showed a frenzied mob storming churches and kicking away holy crosses, a symbol of reverence for Christians.

Some videos also showed Muslim clerics exhorting the crowd to gather if the police failed to act against “blasphemers”. According to a Dawn report, Punjab Police Chief Usman Anwar said that they are in talks with the protesters and the area has been cordoned off. However, local Christians complained that the police remained mute spectators as their homes were ransacked. The police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the accused Christian man under sections 295B (desecrating the Holy Quran, etc.) and 295C (using derogatory remarks in relation to the Holy Prophet, etc.) of Pakistan.

Bishop Azad Marshall, president of the Church of Pakistan, said on X (formerly Twitter) that the Bible was desecrated and Christians were falsely accused of violating the Holy Quran and persecuted. We demand justice and action from law enforcement and justice providers and immediate intervention for the safety of all citizens and assure us that our lives are valuable in our own motherland that has just celebrated freedom and independence. Celebrated.
