Pakistan’s senior journalist, @owaistohid, tweeted, “Sri Lankan man employed at factory in Sialkot lynched allegedly on charges of blasphemy.” The federal minister for human rights, Shireen Mazari, also tweeted, “Horrific & condemnable act of the mob attack on factory & murder of Sri Lankan manager in Sialkot.” The minister also added, “Mob violence cannot be acceptable under any circumstances as state has laws to deal with all offences.” While, @shehzadghiasshaikh stated, “Jala do apna tourism budget. No amount of vloggers can white wash what is actually happening.”
