The Chief Justice of Pakistan has said that only those people who are found guilty of blasphemy through due process should be punished, not the entire communities. CJP Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said this while hearing the Joseph Colony suo motu case, reports The Express Tribune. Chaudhry said that the affected people are still living in camps and every officer is trying to cover up the incident. Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed said the incident could have been prevented if there were enough police. More than 150 houses of Christians living in the Joseph Colony were torched by an angry mob of over 3000 persons on March 9 over alleged blasphemous remarks against Prophet Mohammad by Sawan Masih, a 28-year-old Christian sanitation worker. The hearing of the case was adjourned till March 25. (ANI)
