‘We want justice’
On Sunday, retaliatory riots by Christians engulfed Lahore and other Pakistani cities.
But some are trying to get justice in other ways.
“There were about 400 to 500 bibles burnt in the attack. The mob humiliated our holy scriptures and churches,” said Ishaq of the Pakistan Interfaith League. “So we are asking that the culprits should be booked under the same blasphemy law that they allege we Christians broke.”
The Supreme Court has taken notice of the incident, and hearings are underway investigating the inaction of the administration, which has announced $2,000 as compensation for each family
But according to the Pakistan Interfaith League, each family has suffered an average loss of around $20,000 for their property.
“Our community is rejecting this token. We don’t want charity. We want rights. We want justice,” said Ishaq.
