'Emotional for Islam': Pak defence minister on brutal murder of Sri Lankan man

Published on Dec 06, 2021 10:23 am IST

Pakistan's defence minster Pervez Khattak has come up with a shocking justification of ghastly lynching of a Sri Lankan man at the hands of a frenzied mob over the allegations of blasphemy. Khattak told media that the persons behind lynching were emotional youth who acted because of Islamic sentiments. He attempted to defend the accused, saying such murders take place when young people get emotional. The defence minister of Pakistan went on to say that the one murder will not ruin the deal that Imran Khan government struck with radical outfit Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan whose supporters are blamed for the horrific lynching.
