He said that Pakistani Government is not taking any Reasonable Action to stop misuse of Blasphemy law, although the Authorities knew that these laws are used for personal grudge personal in-trusts because according to the Biblical teachings no any Christian and do or attempt the Blasphemy. He said a Parish Priest of Nazimabad Mr I B Baksh told that a false case has been registered on 26-09-2014 against one of elderly Christian family Mr. Alfred Joseph and his wife under section 295/B Case no 363/2014. In Fact a Lady belongs to Muslim family come to their house for cleaning etc and Mrs. Alfred Pay her Monthly, But one day Mrs. Alfred realized that some of 50000/Rs is missing and when she was asked she denied and went out in anger, she went along with her husband to the nearest Jamea Mosque and blamed that Mr. and Mrs. Alfred disgrace the holy Quran to torn in pieces. The Imam of Mosque Moulana Abdul Rauf and Haji Abdul Rashid registered a case of Blasphemy without any investigation. They planned to take mob at their home and kill and burn there house.

Meanwhile Judicial Magistrate has issued Arrest warrants of them.
