The United States administration has stated that it opposed the blasphemy laws wherever it was followed in the world, including in Pakistan, as the South Asian country dealt with such a case where a minority community member was attacked on such accusations.
“Violence or the threat of violence is never a acceptable form of expression, and the US uniformly opposes blasphemy laws everywhere in the world, including in Pakistan,” Vedant Patel, the principal deputy spokesperson, said at a press briefing on Thursday.
