Manpreet Badal writes: Anti-sacrilege law ignores the lesson Punjab never learnt

Manpreet Badal argues Punjab's anti-sacrilege law ignores historical lessons from 1929 Ilm Din case and 2011 Salman Taseer assassination. The columnist traces how religious offense cases led to violence and deaths, demonstrating that legal measures against blasphemy fuel communal tensions rather than resolve them. Punjab must learn from past patterns.
