ISLAMABAD: January 9, 2011. (PCP) Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) chief, Imran Khan has said that there is a gsound reasonh for the blasphemy laws legislature, and the real reason for rising terrorism being witnessed across Pakistan is actually the US-led War on Terror. Speaking to the media today (Sunday), Khan said that, gThe War on Terror is the root cause for the increase in terrorism, injustice and intolerancec some people will feel that Islam is under threat, and to save Islam people will start sacrificing themselves more.h Justifying the existence of the blasphemy laws, Khan further said that, gEven England has the blasphemy law and there is a sound reason for thisc Allama Iqbal proposed a bill in the 1920Œs Punjab legislative assemblies, which provides punishment for anything being said against any religious personality.h Khan suggested that all political parties need to collectively take a decision on Pakistanfs ongoing role in the war on terror to bring an end to the violence being witnessed in the country.
