LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has taken notice of the killing of a man named Priyantha Kumara in Sialkot on charges of alleged blasphemy.
According to the sources, a mob in Sialkot tortured Priyantha Kumara, who was a general manager of a private factory titled Rajco industries, and killed him before burning his body on Wazirabad Road, Sialkot. Priyantha Kumara was a Sri Lankan national.
A heavy contingent of police was sent to the area to bring the situation under control. According to sources, the mob was the workers of the private factory where Kumara was the manager. The mob attacked the deceased and burnt his body after killing him.
Social media users are outraged over the terrible incident and have been demanding justice since then. A user wrote,”More than a decade since Mughees and Muneeb were lynched to death by an angry mob in Sialkot. 10 years down the lane and we’re still the same. This is horrific, shocking and sickening to the core.”
Mere notices won’t work,the society is becoming extremist and unfortunately the negligence of gvt and extremist policies of the state over the years make this country intolerant.when and how will we learn and whom to blame?#Sialkot

Terrifying & numbing scene in #Sialkot where a Sri Lankan senior manager of a factory was burnt to death by a mob of hundreds after being accused of blasphemy. This is the result of decades of state weaponising blasphemy for its goals, & impunity for anyone using it for theirs.

With every lynching new “Heroes” are born, boys become Ghazis, those who can’t find jobs get mureeds, legal teams, rallies & Mazar after death. Why must police intervene & risk life when State stands with lynchers. Embracing TLP will become Imran & Faiz’s only legacy #Sialkot pic.twitter.com/SDmS2jUOIi
