1) I think you mean 'any country where blasphemy is an offence is not secular'. They way you worded it means that a country where blasphemy is not allowed is secular (which is is probably not what you intended to say).

2)You're confused of the difference between 'secular' and 'egalitarian'. India has blasphemy laws:

Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code criminalises insult to religion; it allows up to three years imprisonment and fines for “whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India...

Yet despite this, India is a secular nation. France as well has certain laws referred to as 'hate speech laws' that limit criticism, namely of Israel. French president, Emmanuel Macron, has even stated that sentiments of anti- Zionism are equivalent to anti-antisemitism (which btw is punishable by imprisonment by Article R. 624-3,5 and 7 of the French constitution since 1972). Despite this France is undoubtedly secular. As much as I dislike laws criminalizing speech, whether in Indonesia or elsewhere, officially a nation is secular even with such laws. Blasphemy laws are just a limitation on human rights that need to be removed even in secular nations.

I apologise for not knowing the esteemed persons in the video, but what he spoke should be chiseled in stone and put in every town square for people to read and have some shame and improve. There is not much inherent difference between our countries. Just a list of movies and TV Shows that can be seen as glorifying drugs, serial killers, premarital relations and homosexuality that are easy to view at the leisure of the Pakistani public.
