It was a normal morning in the industrial town of smog-ridden Sialkot in eastern Pakistan. Priyantha Diyawadana was getting ready to go to RAJCO, a sportswear manufacturing factory, where he was a manager. He had been working there since 2010 and was known to the local community as a decent, hard working and pious man, until Friday.
As he left home and approached the factory, he could not help but notice that a poster had been pasted on the factory wall. Since it was prohibited to paste posters or wall chalk, Priyantha took it down. What he did not know is that it was an Islamic poster with religious text on it. He simply binned it.Within minutes, Priyantha was facing a crowd of his factory workers who he felt had a strange gaze. They hurled abuses towards him and accused him of committing blasphemy. Priyantha did not stand a chance. Probably he smelled death and tried to talk some sense into the now very angry crowd.Workers, whom he had served with love and admiration for 10 years, were now bent upon teaching him a lesson. The news spread throughout the factory and workers rushed to the factory compound where he was being slapped and kicked.In no time, an organised industrial working class had turned into a fanatic Islamic mob. Hundreds of people descended upon him with sticks and stones and struck him on the head. Priyantha fell to the ground. He was beaten to death in no time, his corpse was dragged around before the mob set the body alight. As flames billowed from Priyantha's corpse, the mob cheered with shouts of 'Allah hu Akbar, Allah hu Akbar'.Priyantha paid the price for living in a fanatic Islamic country with his life. Fanaticism has been nurtured by the military establishment in the name of Jihadi Islam. The recent release of Saad Rizvi, the leader of fanatic Islamic organisation called Tehreek-e-Lebaik Pakistan (TLP), and lifting of the ban on his organisation has emboldened Pakistani Islamic intensity beyond imagination.As Priyantha's body turned into charcoal and the news spread via social media, statements of condemnation began to pour in from all quarters of society, including the government. Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, Prime Minister Imran Khan and a whole barrage of military establishment cronies were issuing tweets, promising a swift and speedy enquiry and to bring the culprits to justice.The fact, however, is that it is not the people but those who have turned 220 million human beings into killing machines who are the real culprits. The Jihadi narrative spewed out by the Prime Minter himself from Pakistan Television (PTV) right on to the floor of the United Nations General Assembly, the army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the judiciary which has been an accomplice in freeing terrorists by issuing bails and the clergy, all are responsible for the murder of Priyantha.The roots of communal hatred and violence go way back to the politics of the separatist and segregationist Muslim leaders, starting right from the British crony Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the founder of Aligarh Mohammedan Oriental College, to the so-called founder of Pakistan, Muhammed Ali Jinnah.A country carved out of the living body of Hindustan that was supposed or was promised to be the land of the pure has being purifying itself by committing the genocide of Hindus and Sikhs and other religious minority groups in Pakistan.From Sindh to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, attacks on minority religious sites, temples and gurdawars have been an almost weekly occurrence in Pakistan. Churches are demolished in Peshawar, Lsystem would be made online with zero space for corrupt practices."This system will help reduce the cost and number of visits required for forest patta land demarcation and registration.
