Apart from Muslims, other religions are minorities in Pakistan. According to the 2017 census, Hindus are the largest minority religion.
Following this, Christians are the 2nd largest minority religion. Attacks on minority communities in Pakistan continue.
Jungle Dera village is located in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Mustaq Ahmed (age 41) lived here. He is mentally ill. A mob of people in the area have dragged Ahmad to the standard and tied him to a tree, claiming that he had torn the pages of the Quran and set it on fire. Then the whole crowd attacked him with stones.
Ahmed died on the spot. He was assassinated and his body hung from a tree. The incident has caused a great deal of controversy worldwide.
A similar incident took place last December. Priyantha Kumara (age 40) is from Sri Lanka. He was working as a manager in a factory in Sialkot district of Punjab state in Pakistan. He was said to have torn down a poster that was pasted in defiance of religion. The poster also contained texts from the Koran.
Thus, more than 100 workers came together and barraged Priyantha Kumara. Undaunted, they dragged him to the road and beat him with a truncheon. Thus Priyantha Kumara jumped up and fell into a trance.
The mob did not relent in their anger as they watched him curl up in front of his eyes. Priyantha dragged Kumara to Nadu Road and set him on fire and burnt him alive. The incident shook the world. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has strongly condemned the inhumane act. He said the incident was a disgraceful day for Pakistan.
