Lynching of Mardan university student over blasphemy allegations 'cold-blooded murder', says Nisar
[DAWN] Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan...  Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle FesterSharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both. He wears a wig, but you probably guessed that. since hair doesn't grow naturally in that shape or texture... on Saturday expressed disappointment over the "cold-blooded murder" of Mashal Khan -- a 23-year-old journalism student lynched by an angry mob on Thursday over blasphemy allegations in Mardan -- saying it is "unfortunate that people who are behind [his murder] are associating religion" with the act. Terming it as a "blatant murder", the interior minister, while addressing a presser in Islamabad, said it was the "law of the jungle" given the manner the young university student was killed. "Even if the accusations against someone are true, there is a process [to pursue the case]," he added. "Islam is a model; it has a framework of justice," Nisar said, adding that the religion does not "permit" any maltreatment of a "non-Moslem" or "even an atheist". "I think the provincial government has taken the right decision to call a judicial inquiry," the interior minister added, saying that this is an appropriate way to go about it.
