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
This is the 2nd lynch mob attempting to kill a #blasphemy suspect in #Pakistan within a week. 1st lynch mob was deobandi in Charsadda, which set police posts on fire. Wrote about Pakistan's normalisation of blasphemy lynch mobs over the decades here:
Have long been afraid of TLP's calls/slogans for *blasphemy* murders. This is NOT me plugging my work but only saying what has happened in Sialkot has been in the making for years but TLP exacerbated this creation of violent rage & they were not stopped. thefridaytimes.com/the-architects…
The Sri Lankan national lynched to death by the #blasphemy mob in Sialkot is identified as Priyantha Kumar. The two men claiming to be part of the lynch mob in the photo above also identify him as Priyantha Kumar. dawn.com/news/1661728
Adding to the 1st tweet that alleged insult to Islam used as a justification for lynching of the Sri Lankan national by #Sialkot#blasphemy mob also included [a version of] darood on the paper, which was allegedly torn off & thrown in the bin.

*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
*Zaleel khwar kar k waasil e jahanum kar chadya*. We sent him to hell. These young lynchers are brainwashed into thinking that TLP's word on practicing Islam is the ultimate truth. TLP has mainstreamed radicalisation. Feel terrible for those exposed to their narrative. #Sialkot
