The first protest I ever went to was in 1998 after Bishop John Joseph shot himself in protest against the blasphemy law, and I remember the streets rang with shouts of "ay c-yaan b-yaan band karo" (end 295-c and 295-b). In 2015, I asked Bishop Samuel Azariah why christians didnt demand abolition of the law anymore and why asking for its abolition had become the same as committing blasphemy. Turns out that religious minorities in Pakistan were demanding abolition of this law up until the first terrorist attacks on churches in 2001.
