Pakistan is currently considering a new bill that could lead to serious legal consequences for those involved in black magic practices. The bill suggests that people practicing black magic or giving out “taveez” (amulets) could face up to seven years in prison. This proposal has sparked an interesting debate among lawmakers in Pakistan.
The debate took place in a Senate Standing Committee meeting, chaired by Senator Faisal Saleem. The bill was proposed by Senator Samina Mumtaz, who believes that black magic is causing harm to society. According to Senator Mumtaz, such practices not only deceive people but also lead to illegal activities that negatively impact society as a whole.
During the meeting, Senator Irfan Siddiqui raised a concern about how black magic would be defined legally. He asked whether the law would cover people who present themselves as spiritual healers but may secretly be practicing black magic. Senator Samina Mumtaz responded by saying that anyone involved in black magic is damaging society, and the law should target them. Senator Siddiqui, however, pointed out that defining black magic could be very challenging.
Senator Kamran also supported the bill. He shared an experience from his visit to China, where he observed that even the Great Wall was locked to protect its heritage. He suggested that such strict laws could be an important step in protecting Pakistani society as well. Senator Palwasha Khan also added her thoughts, saying that people involved in black magic often trick innocent individuals and steal money from them.
One of the most disturbing points raised in the meeting was the claim that some black magic practitioners ask their clients to bring the blood of a child as part of their rituals. This illegal and harmful practice led Senator Samina Mumtaz to emphasize that black magic is not just about spiritual harm but involves illegal and vile activities that should not be tolerated.
Despite the strong discussions and support for the bill, Senator Irfan Siddiqui made it clear that creating a law without a clear definition of black magic would be a tough task. The committee agreed to postpone further discussions on the bill to allow for more detailed conversations in the future.
