In Lahore, Pakistan, a woman faced an angry mob’s accusations of blasphemy over a dress adorned with Arabic calligraphy mistaken for Quranic verses.
Seeking refuge in a restaurant, she was shielded by police as tensions escalated. Later escorted to safety, religious scholars confirmed the innocuous nature of the calligraphy. The woman, expressing remorse, publicly apologized, asserting her devout faith.
Calls for accountability emerged, condemning the mob’s actions. Assistant Superintendent Shehrbano’s efforts were praised for averting a tragedy.
This incident highlights the pervasive threat of blasphemy accusations, underscoring the need for tolerance in a society divided by fervent beliefs.
