Police say a Muslim mob has attacked a Christian area in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, burning a church, damaging four others and demolishing a man's house after accusing him of desecrating Islam’s holy book.
A church burned by an angry Muslim mob is seen in Jaranwala near Faisalabad, Pakistan, Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2023. A Muslim mob went on a rampage Wednesday, attacking a Christian area in eastern Pakistan, burning a church and damaging two others, police said. The attackers also demolished a man's house after accusing him of desecrating Islam's holy book and attacked several other Christian homes.
Police chief Bilal Mehmood told reporters they were also looking for Amir, who went into hiding to escape the mob, and would detain him to determine whether he had desecrated the Quran. Khalid Mukhtar, a local priest, said most of the Christians living in the area had fled to safer places. “Even my house was burned,” he added.
A delegation of Muslim clerics also arrived in Jaranwala from the city of Lahore to express solidarity with the Christians. "Stern action would be taken against those who violate law and target minorities. All law enforcement has been asked to apprehend culprits & bring them to justice,” he wrote on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
