Parliament needs to make the existing blasphemy law tougher to prevent its misuse, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has said.
In a detailed order issued on Friday, High Court Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui also ordered a complete ban on the social networking site Facebook in case the website management does not conform to Pakistani laws.

In the 116-page judgment, Justice Siddiqui discussed in detail the common criticism of the blasphemy law. The Dawn quoted him as saying that due to the misuse of the law, critics were now demanding that it be abolished.
