Ms. Asiya Nasir – Christian Member National Assembly (MNA), elected on a reserved seat from NA-322 (Balochistan-III) on an MMA (Mutihada Majlis i Amal; a coalition of religious parties) ticket, interestingly with JUI(F) affiliation – made this hard-hitting and courageous speech on the floor of the Pakistan National Assembly on March 4 before leading a token walk-out of minority and other members from the Assembly on the issue of Shahbaz Bhatti’s assassination.
The speech should be listened in full, not just for its heartfelt passion and its cry of pain, but also because no matter how much you think you know about Pakistan, you are bound to learn things you did not know. Asiya Nasir speaks to us not simply as a Minority or Christian MNA, but as a Pakistani. And it is as a Pakistanis that we must respond.
The 30 year old Asiya Nasir – wife of Nasir Masih and mother of a son and two daughters – has much to say and ask that we really have no response or answers to. But we should all be grateful to her for raising her voice as a Pakistani and asking questions that we have ignored – indeed, hidden – for too long. We are better off today because these questions have been asked.
ordinary speech!
“Mom, lets leave this country” hahahahaa! as if they have a choice :-)
Personally, I sternly believe that no-one should ever be killed. Murdering people in this way transforms petty criminals to Heros, and that too with a vision!
So STUPID terrorists, hear this: STOP KILLING PEOPLE, PLEASE STOP making more heros! live and let live!!
The first instance after hearing the news of this assissination, only one name came to my mind after seeing such a professional appraoch, and that is …. Black Water
things like these will keep happening, untill we get the US and its operatives extracted out of our homeland.
@ Kafir Per Pakistani Law
The way you are giving ur personal disclosure, show how INSECURE we Muslims sects are feeling in Islamic state
( only by NAME ) to make our opinion!
Is it necessary for me to first CONVINCE everybody that I am MUSLIM by constitution & say every bad thing about Ahmediyya community & its head & then say some truth about Islamic beliefs?
For a MOMENT …. JUST for a FRACTION of moment THINK if AHMADIS are on TRUTH what will be the Answer of Majority of Pakistanis on the day of Judgement , when ASKED by Allah Almighty … about the CURSE put on Ahmadi ‘s Leader by all Pakistanis through Passport / National ID / Election commission’s forms ???
Either Pakistani Muslims dont believe in Day of Judgement or they got Something known as ILHAAM from Allah Almighty ….about the Falsehood of Ahmadiya Muslim sect.
It’s only a matter of time until some demented Islamist is going to kill Asiya Nasir for daring to give this brave speech.
In my opinion, women like Asiya and men like Bhatti and Taseer are much more courageous than any mullah or prophet who lived anywhere or anytime. As I said, this is my opinion.
Shame!!

That is th question and I am despearately looking for answers.”
I have a suggestion:
Pakistani people need to correct and repeal the article in its 1973 constitution which is based on WRONG basis. Unless we correct the basis of Pakistani constitution, we cannot correct its articles, we cannot correct laws of Pakistan based on its constitution, and we finally cannot correct the Pakistanis behaviors and their thoughts and mindset. Please visit the following link to see how Pakistani Islamic Scholar Javed Ahmad Ghamidi sahib is pointing out the WRONG basis of all the troubles in Pakistan.

Personal Disclosure:
I hold belief that:
1-There is no God but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAWS) WAS HIS LAST AND GREATEST PROPHET.
2-No new or old prophet can come after Rasul Allah SAWS.
3-I consider all reciters of Kalima-Shahada as Muslims.
4-I do NOT belong to Qadiani organization headed by their Khalifa residing in England, that holds belief that thousands of prophets can come after Rasul Allah SAWS (nauzubilah), but they will only come in their Qadiani organization.
