Pakistan`s top religious body has said that taking the law into one`s hands was against the teachings of Quran, Sharia and the Constitution as it demanded that those responsible for the Sri Lankan national`s lynching in the country`s Punjab province be brought to justice, a media report said on Tuesday.
In a shocking incident earlier this month, supporters of the radical Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) attacked a garment factory in Sialkot and lynched its 49-year-old general manager - Priyantha Kumara Diyawadana - before setting his body on fire over allegations of blasphemy.
