After the lynching of a Sri Lankan man in Pakistan's Sialkot over alleged blasphemy, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said he would personally oversee an investigation into "the horrific vigilante attack" which he also called "a day of shame for Pakistan".

Khan has reached out to Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa today in the UAE.

Pakistan's Prime Minister conveyed his nation's anger and shame over the horrific incident.

Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa on Saturday expressed shock at the brutal Sialkot lynching of a Sri Lankan national, but expressed confidence in PM Imran Khan’s commitment to punish all those involved.

PM Mahinda Rajapaksa, whose government is a key regional ally to Pakistan, took to Twitter to condemn the horrific Friday incident that saw a mob torture and kill Priyantha Kumara.

    Sri Lanka needs to summon the Pakistan Ambassador in Sri Lanka and ask for a explanation and a strong protect to terrorist action. The whole world know present Pakistan supports these actions. These love call are of no use.

    GR was hiding behind a few texts. Is this the way he should react? Shame to call you as president.

    Death penalty or 20 years minimum rigorous imprisonment for all the culprits.

    Regional Alliance wins. No official statement, no condemnation. Only lip service by the SL government. Seems Lankan life has no value.

    The whole of Pakistan media is filled with shame and anger. Seems like they are feeling the pain,around 100 people arrested. They want to give the deceased a state funeral. Hopefully they do their job
