While Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is assuring the world that the culprits will not be spared, Defense Minister Pervez Khattak has justified the lynching of Sri Lankan manager Priyantha Kumara in Sialkot. Justifying the killing of Kumara by a hysterical mob, a top minister in the Imran government said it was the work of angry youth motivated by religious sentiments. Addressing the media, Khattak said that it is not right to blame the government for the incident.

Khattak statement on this incident:

He said, ‘When it comes to religion, I will also get agitated and do wrong.’ This statement of Khattak has started getting criticism in the country itself. Pakistani journalist Hameed-ur-Rehman said, “If Khattak is not removed from the cabinet immediately, it will mean that the assurances given by PM Khan to the Sri Lankan President and Foreign Minister are all lies.”
