"गुस्ताखएरसूल की एक ही सजा, सर तन से जुदा": Lahore - Woman assaulted by a mob for wearing a dress with Arabic words, mistakenly believed to be Quranic verses, it was later found to be calligraphy of words like 'beautiful' and 'sweet', forced to apologize

In a recent alarming incident in Lahore, Pakistan, a woman found herself at the center of a violent altercation. The cause of the commotion? Her attire—a dress adorned with Arabic calligraphy. This seemingly innocuous choice of clothing sparked outrage among a group of Islamic fanatics. They accused her of blasphemy—a grave allegation in Pakistan, where the charge can carry the death penalty. These individuals, identified as members of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan, a hardline political group, were convinced that the colorful Arabic script on her white dress consisted of Quranic verses.
