A large number of people, including activists from religious parties, have ransacked and set on fire a girls' school in Lahore, Pakistan, and clashed with police following reports that a question paper for a test had contained blasphemous references and "indecent" remarks about the Prophet Mohammad.
According to Legal Evangelical Association Development, people in the area had been demanding police action against the teacher of Farooqi Girls High School accused of blasphemy for the last couple of days.
The Daily Times is reporting that teachers, students, their parents and residents of Ravi Road area of Lahore on Thursday condemned the attack on Farooqi Girls High School and termed allegations of blasphemy against the school a "controversy".
