Islam is a religion of peace and it does not allow any such act and teaches respect for humanity. There is great sorrow and grief over this incident. Government of Pakistan should definitely punish those involved in Sialkot incident.
The people should not take the law in their hands. The Pakistani nation, Pakistani scholars and leaders belonging to other religions are protesting against this incident of extremists and terrorists.
The government, the army, the security agencies and the courts are present in Pakistan and no one can be allowed to have his own court and make decisions and kill people and burn them.
We welcome the statement of the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan in which he said that I am personally monitoring the incident and will continue to punish the accused.
The whole nation stands with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the Army Chief and the security agencies in the Sialkot incident.
Paigham e Pakistan which is a great narrative of Pakistan has helped in eradicating extremism and terrorism. In Pakistan we will not allow any such conspiracy of the enemy to succeed.
