As we all know Pakistan is a most dangerous place in the world. Having a majority of Muslims violates the human rights. The freedom of religion is completely abolished in the Muslim country. The poor catholic Asia Bibi was prisoned in the name of blasphemy and the one and only Christian minister in the country Shahbaz Bhatti, Minister of Minority Affairs was gunned down by Taliban and Al Qaeda assassins. Now they target the journalists. It is because the journalists write about the atrocity of the country’s most dangerous group. The fanaticism of the Pakistani is not just begun. It was there from the early times of its independence. But now the journalists bring to the notice of the whole world. And the world has stamped the country as a most dangerous place in the world. And in the case of Asia Bibi the whole world raised voice against the imprisonment of Bibi in the name of religion.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has claimed responsibility for the killing of Aatif, with the group issuing a statement saying that it had warned Aatif about spreading what it called propaganda about the group in the international press. So now the Christians are also afraid if the Taliban group. The Catholic communication desk in Rawalpindi diocese has reworked its editorial police in the wake of the killing of Aatif and others throughout the country. Banaras Khan, editor of the monthly diocese publication Shaloom said that they have stopped publishing political articles or analysis on the prevalent situation and are being more cautious,” It started from freedom religion and now it has reached the freedom of speech and writing. If the media is afraid and do not transmit the truth, what about the simple people belonging to the other religion?
