• In Pakistan, the person, insulting God, is burnt alive by a group of people and in Punjab, the person, insulting a religious place, is beaten up to death. On the other hand, Hindus take legal action, that too rarely, against the individuals insulting their religious sentiments ! 

Amritsar (Punjab) – A man was beaten up by a group of people for trying to insult the Guru Granth Sahib (Holy book of the Sikhs) at the Golden temple, the highest order religious place of the Sikhs, leading to his death. The Punjab CM has condemned it and has ordered the investigation of this case.
