Thousands people gathered at Data Darbar in Lahore on January 4 in support of the former Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer’s assassin Malik Mumtaz Qadri, and called for his release, reported Express Tribune. Supporters of various religious parties that form the Tahaffuz Namoos-i-Rasalat Mahaz (TNSM) staged protests at the Lahore Press Club, Minar-e-Pakistan and other places before gathering at the Darbar. The participants, mostly Barelvi Muslims, held up portraits of Qadri and chanted slogans in his honor. They raised their arms and pledged to follow Qadri “against every blasphemer”. One speaker, Allama Muhammad Tahir Tabassum, suggested that the Government auction off the gun with which Qadri shot the Governor, “like an auction of the bats or hockey sticks of famous athletes”. It was then announced that the Sunni Ittehad Council was willing to pay PKR 100 million for the “holy gun”. Allama Muhammad Nawaz Bashir Jalalisaid that Taseer’s killing was justified by Islamic injunctions as he had committed blasphemy. He said blasphemers deserved to have their tongues cut off. He accused the media of downplaying their protests. Later, a resolution was adopted at the end of the rally asking President Asif Zardari to declare clemency for Mumtaz Qadri and punishment for Asia Bibi, the Christian woman jailed for blasphemy whose release Taseer had campaigned for. The resolution also demanded the permanent closure of NATO supply lines through Pakistan; purging of all Pakistani air bases of United States (US) personnel; the arrest of the killers of Doctor Sarfaraz Naeemi and terrorists who bombed shrines; the removal of Ahmedis from Government posts; and that “a free, fair and impartial investigation into the memo scandal be ensured and those responsible be tried under treason charges”.

A senior professor, Shaharyar, of King Edward Medical University in Lahore District on February 1 received threats after he asked a student not to wear the 'hijab' (headscarf) in his classes, reported Indian Express. Shaharyar, the head of the Oncology Department had asked a girl attending a fourth-year MBBS class not to wear the hijab. "It's better if you wear the hijab outside the classroom," Shaharyar had said while delivering a lecture a few days ago. Following his remarks, students affiliated to the Islami Jama’at Tulba (IJT), the student wing of the Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI) boycotted Shaharyar's classes and protested against him. The IJT activists demanded that the Vice-Chancellor should take action against Shaharyar or else they would not allow him to enter the campus. Shaharyar said, "I have received threatening messages on my cell phone. I have done nothing wrong as I had just told the girl student that the hijab was unnecessary in class." Though Shaharyar apologized to the student concerned following pressure from extremist elements, the members of the IJT have not withdrawn their demand for "anti-Islam" elements to be thrown out of the campus

All members of the Senate, irrespective of their political affiliation, on February 8 walked out of the House in Islamabad in protest against the January 31, 2012 target killing of the wife and daughter of a Balochistan Assembly Member, Mir Bakhtiar Domki in Karachi the provincial capital of Sindh reports Dawn. The walkout was led by Shahid Hassan Bugti, a relative of the dead. “It (the killing) was a message for certain people,” Bugti said just before storming out of the House. “The perpetrators are those who continue to kidnap people in Balochistan and throw away their mutilated bodies,” adding, “The manner in which she was killed shows utter hatred towards the Baloch.” It was not a random case of violence. Had it been such a case, a maid who was accompanying the two victims would not be alive today,” Bugti added. He then asked all the Senators “with conscience” to join him in a walkout.

Religious parties during a rally held in a ground near the Quaid Mausoleum in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh on February 12, vowed to hold a sit-in outside Parliament on February 20, 2012 in protest against restoration of NATO supplies and warned to turn every square of the country into Tahrir Square if attempts were made to push the country to United States (US) subservience, reports Dawn. From the platform of Difa-e-Pakistan Council (DPC), the parties assailed US policies and their leaders and slogan-chanting supporters condemned the continuing drone attacks and “attempts to restore NATO supplies”. The rally was dominated by Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD), Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI) and Ahl-e-Sunnat wal Jama’at (ASWJ). Several speakers paid tribute to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar. Hafiz Mohammad Saeed of JuD said the US wanted to avenge its defeat in Afghanistan and was exploiting the situation in Balochistan. He said India was using Kashmir against Pakistan as a tool and had blocked the flow of water to Pakistan, but the DPC would not allow this to happen. He said the people of Pakistan would stand by their armed forces and foil any conspiracy against the country. The conference adopted a 10-point agenda for steering the country out of the crisis and to restore Islamic values.

Speakers at a Difa-e-Pakistan Council (DPC) rally in Islamabad on February 20 condemned United States (US) drone attacks, military operations in tribal areas, tabling of a resolution on Balochistan in the US House of Representatives and the ban on some religious parties, reports Dawn. The speakers warned the Government against restoring NATO supply routes and granting the MFN (Most Favoured Nation) status to India till resolution of the Kashmir dispute. The DPC rally was organised by Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI) and security arrangements were made by Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). Most of the participants belonged to Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD), Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jama’at (ASWJ), Ansarul Ulema, formerly Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM). Protesters poured onto Islamabad’s streets, chanting “death to America” and demanding ‘holy war’. JeI Chief Syed Munawar Hassan criticised the armed forces and said they had failed to contain the US aggression inside Pakistan, but continued to launch operations against their own people. He blamed the US for all ills in the country, terming it an enemy of the Islamic world. “Drone attacks continue to kill innocent Pakistanis, missing persons remain untraced and military operations in Swat, Buner, Waziristan and other tribal areas are being carried out at the behest of the US,” the JeI chief said. Ijazul Haq, chief of his own faction of Pakistan Muslim League (PML), and former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Agency chief Lieutenant General (retired) Hamid Gul made fiery speeches and criticised the US and the Government for banning religious parties.

Ahl-e-Sunnat-Wal-Jama’at (ASWJ) and Jama’at Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) staged separate protest demonstrations in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh on September 28 against the anti-Islam film, reports Daily Times. JUI-F Karachi held the protest day against blasphemous film and Police brutality on protesters.

On the appeal of JUI-F, protesters carrying placards and banners chanted slogans and torched flags of the United States outside various mosques to express their hatred and anger against makers of the sacrilegious film. Addressing protesters, various JUI-F leaders, including JUI-F Karachi chief Qari Muhammad Usman, said that the announcement of the US government for not legislating against blasphemy was tantamount to initiating a worldwide civilisation war against Islam and Muslims. Earlier, in this regard, prayer leaders discussed the issue in the Friday sermons and urged Muslims to be united against such attempts. They urged the Muslim world to be separate from the United Nations Organisations (UNO), if it fails to devise international laws against blasphemy.
