A simpleton asked: Was Jesus a Baloch?

However, the netizens furious Pakistani are sharing their rage over Marvi Sirmed’s insensitive remarks and demand strict action to be taken against her:
پیغمبروں کو اس طرح مذاق میں نہیں لانا چاہیے۔ آپ کسی مذہب کے پیروکاروں کی دل آزاری کر سکتی ہیں۔ سب پیغمبر برابر احترام کے لائق ہیں۔

This should not be tolerated in Islamic Republic of Pakistan and in Riyasat-e-Madina. Strict action needed otherwise another Ghazi Faisal will decide. Now the government has a chance to punish this prostitute by imposing 295C
