ISLAMABAD: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Wednesday said that he was “gutted” by the visuals coming from Jaranwala involving the attack on minorities, assuring that stern action would be taken against law violators.

“I am gutted by the visuals coming out of Jaranwala, Faisalabad. Stern action would be taken against those who violate law and target minorities,” the prime minister wrote on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. He was responding to a post on X by President Bishop Church of Pakistan Bishop Azad Marshall, who highlighted an incident of attack on a church and torturing of Christians on blasphemy accusations in Jaranwala.

The incident clearly shows the level of education of the general public by the scholars and the resulting standards of tolerance. Sad state of society that is moving backwards

The Local Administration seems to have been flat footed and unprepared for such an incident. Where were the Police and Rangers? This could have been prevented with timely action. Internationally, this will unfortunately just confirm the negative biases many people have about this country.
