Mosques probed over protest call in Pakistan blasphemy riots
"That cleric should have understood that when you gather people in such a charged environment in a country in which people were already very sensitive about blasphemy it is like adding fuel to fire", says senior police official, Usman Anwar.
A Muslim cleric is among a dozen people being investigated for using mosque loudspeakers to order protests against alleged blasphemy by Christians which erupted into mob violence in Pakistan earlier this week.
