Shahbaz's has been evangelizing for the past 15 years, he does not have a
church building but organises healing prayer meetings at his residence.
Apart from Christians many Muslims also come to him for healing and blessings.
On the other hand, Muslim Peer Baba Pola Gujjar lost his followers as they have
started going to Shahbaz’s healing prayers.
Haji Nadeem, Peer Baba Gujjar and some other local Muslims were not very happy
with the growing popularity of Shahbaz and have consequently implicated him in
a false case of blasphemy.
Shahbaz, accuses
Nadeem and Gijar teaming up with a number of other local Muslims falsely
implicated Shahbaz in a blasphemy case.
Nadeem registered a
statement at the Nishtar Colony Police Station Friday morning that claiming he
and his companions namely Ran Muhammad Asif, Muhammad Ahsan,Muhammad Raisat,Muhammad Awais found at least 100 pages ripped from a Quran on the street Near Dr Munir School
on their way to the mosque. Nadeem also said that the pages had Shahbaz's name
written on them.
in spite that
Shahbaz doesn't even know how to write.
Every Christians in
Pakistan knows that writing your own name on Quranic pages and then throwing
them into the street is a suicide mission.
Shahbaz after
arrest was transferred to the Model Town police station in Lahore while
his wife and daughter were released.
