Seal Your Lips or Pack Your Bags

By Asad ur Rehman • Mar 18th, 2011 • Category: Politics

Any one who is advocate of Aasia Bibi or who is against the illegal use of Blasphemy laws has been yet again warned by fanatics to either seal the lips or face the consequences. And the consequence is no less than loss of life.

I don’t have words to say on this brutal murder.
