*Nangya kar k saarya aay* -- 'his clothes was removed and then brunt', a minor watching a phone video of #Sialkot lynching standing near the murder site repeats this multiple times.
#blasphemy #Pakistan 2 factory workers Talha & Furhan, part of the bigger lynch mob explain why they burnt alive the Sri Lankan manager on #blasphemy suspicions. They refused to work unless the management did something about their complaint & when it didn't, they decided to kill the man. #Sialkot

As per vids uploaded from Sialkot, sr manager of Rajco Industry tore off a paper w/ words Labbaik Ya Hussain. Factory workers Talha, Furhan complained & decided on the spot to kill the SriLankan national. Here they quoted the Tehreek Labbaik's call for murder & other slogans. 👇🏽 These 2 young men in the photo above are claiming to be part of the lynch mob which complained against the SL manager of Rajco & then dragged him out to burn him to death, and are using Tehreek Labbaik's violence inciting narrative to justify why they did it. Speechless. #Sialkot
