Sir: This is regarding the Sipah-e Sahaba rally that was the first to be held in eight years. Does the PPP and PML-N victory in the polls mean a return to the time when vigilante religious fanatics could operate in the country with impunity? Considering the fact that Abdul Ghafur Nadeem has been in jail for fanning sectarian strife in the nation it seems a bit surprising that he could have held a rally with such ease. Has the ban been lifted against the SSP? The rally was about the reprinting of the blasphemous cartoons. In typical extremist style, there was a call for jihad against Denmark and other talk of resorting to methods of violence. Granted that the Muslim world, or rather the entire world, must find a way to stop such insulting matter from being published, but does this require an invitation to violence?
