Re: Amir Liaquat kee ghatiya language for JJ’s mother
What about Pakistani liberal scholar Junaid Hafeez still under bars without a trial. He maintains he is practicing and did not blaspheme. His lawyer was killed and he has no representation. Bright guy who came back to teach English and Urdu literature and now he is wasting his life away. Why no uproar for him?
**Shaista also apologised **and she is a Pakistani liberal. Why she hasn’t been forgiven? Why she had to leave country for Qatar?
There really should be a way we can help Junaid Hafeez. I mean JJ escaped to London even though he has cursed laws in the West. Why can’t Junaid Hafeez go back to the US where he actually lived long time ago? Why can’t Aasia go to Paris where she is given asylum?
None of them had darhi 
I am against what happened to JJ but why should i feel more sympathy for JJ than these other people. As an influential figure why he never spoke out for these victims.
MangoMan, I have massive amounts of respect for the Pakistanis who publicly stand up for human rights like Salman Taseer, Malala and Rashid Rehman. They are true liberals in my eyes as are the polio workers who risk their lives to save lives of children. Rashid Rehman worked tirelessly for the impoverished.
What about Jalila Haider, the first brave young female Hazara lawyer. She fights for rights of women in the region and for other minorities. Many liberal members of her family have been killed. She has not left Pakistan due to death threats..but she has no fear only hope.
JJ’s suffering is not even an iota of what the above have suffered. He has left the country. He shouldn’t suffer from blasphemy law, and AL was wrong about him but he should have spoken up for the people above.
What has JJ done for humanity?
Progressive Pakistanis are a cut above progressives from any other subcontinental country. Their bravery is example to us all.
Why doesn’t Pakistani media ever focus on stories like Jalil Haider or Junaid Hafeez, why only JJ?
