Host Rabia Mehmood and lawyer Yasser Latif Hamdani discuss the disturbing online smear campaign targeting Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa. The genesis of this campaign lies in a recent judgment where the Chief Justice granted bail to a member of the persecuted Ahmadiyya community.
This decision has sparked political maneuvering and the spread of misinformation, highlighting broader issues surrounding religious freedom and the judiciary's role in upholding fundamental rights.
Hamdani provides valuable insights into the case, emphasizing the constitutional right to religious freedom that has long been denied to the Ahmadiyya community. Despite the judgment falling short of fully restoring their rights, Chief Justice Isa's steadfast commitment to upholding fundamental principles remains evident.
Throughout the discussion, they explore the implications of such attacks on the judiciary and the complicity of various political parties, YouTubers, and mainstream media outlets in perpetuating this dangerous narrative.
Yasser underscored the urgent need for state intervention to ensure the safety and rights of all citizens, irrespective of their religious beliefs.
