Pakistan's Sialkot factory hires Sri Lankan national in place of his lynched compatriot

A factory in Pakistan's Sialkot has hired another Sri Lankan national in place of his 49-year-old lynched compatriot.

In a bold move, a factory in Pakistan's Sialkot has hired another Sri Lankan national in place of his slain compatriot who was lynched earlier this month by supporters of a radical Islamist party on the allegations of blasphemy.

Special Representative to the Prime Minister on Religious Harmony Hafiz Mohammad Tahir Ashrafi disclosed this on Wednesday during a visit to the Sri Lankan High Commission along with renowned Islamic preacher Maulana Tariq Jamil to express condolence over the Sialkot incident.
