Pakistan's Islamic laws, specifically the blasphemy laws targetting the Ahmadiyya Muslim community have become central to keeping religion alive in Pakistani politics.
News18 looks at how the discourse around blasphemy has not only shaped Pakistan's history but also continues to shape the context of its present politics and civil society. As alleged amendments in the Khatm-i-Naboowat or Finality of Prophethood clause in election candidature forms sparked protests killing 6 and wounding more than 250, the protests once again relied on blasphemy to fan public outrage and bring Tehreek-e-Labbaik leader Khadim Rizvi into the limelight.
