Senate Condemns Lynching Of Priyantha Kumara: Delegation To Take Resolution To Sri Lanka

The Senate of Pakistan has passed a resolution unanimously condemning the incident where a Sri Lankan national Priyantha Kumara was lynched in Sialkot earlier this month. Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani announced that the upper house of parliament would send a delegation of senators to Sri Lanka to provide a copy of the resolution to Kumara’s family and convey condolences.

Kumara had lived and worked in Pakistan for 11 years. He was beaten, killed and later set on fire by a violent mob in Sialkot. He had been accused of blasphemy for removing a poster with religious content. It was later revealed that Kumara was falsely accused of blasphemy by workers of the factory

The Senate resolution, moved by Leader of the House Shahzad Waseem, called upon the government of Pakistan to take action against those involved in the lynching of Kumara. It also claimed that religion in Pakistan had nothing to do with such violence. A number of Senators from the government and opposition alike spoke on the rising tide of extremism in the country and the misuse of blasphemy-related legislation. Opposition senators including Senator Raza Rabbani of the PPP highlighted what they saw as the state’s complicity in the rise of such an extremist mindset.

    Dozens were arrested following the lynching. Any update? Anyone convicted? How many have been released. It’s just so much hogwash to hoodwink the Sri Lankan community.

    Such forked tongues. Right from the selected PM down to his selected minions.

  3. Naya Pakistani says:

    What is the value of a resolution of condemnation for the victims family without the news of any action taken by the legislative. At least move to vote on removing death penalty from blasphemy law that has been causing vigilante attacks on public by accusing them of blasphemy and lynching them. The whole of our idiotic parliament has got blood on their hands.
