The Sri Lankans living and working in Pakistan should be recalled unless the Pakistani Government is prepared to ensure their safety, JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today.

He told a news conference that the Pakistani Government should give maximum punishment to those who were involved in the gruesome lynching of Priyanatha Kumara, who was brutally tortured, killed and burnt in Sialkot, Pakistan by a mob and guarantee the safety of other Sri Lankans living there.

The MP said the Sri Lankan Government should ensure that no Sri Lankan should be subject to such a barbaric murder.

He said the Sri Lankans had to face religious extremism in 2019 due to Easter Sunday attacks and added that the countrymen should no longer be victimised by religious extremism.

“It is seen that various religious extremists are raising their heads in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan Government and the citizens have an additional task to defeat and curb extremism,” he said. (Ajith Siriwardana)

This is the problem with JVP, they don't know the boundaries and can make extremely dangerous decisions.

My dear friend, even if you remove all the Sri Lankan's from Pakistan their country will not loose anything. The only thing is there will be more jobless in Sri Lanka.

Religion is toxic and Pakistan is an extreme example of this toxicity,Safe to recall them as being a non Muslim one is always vulnerable to such violent acts

The governments of South Asian countries must resolve to curb the menace of extremism in their respective domains

You were very silent when your government acknowledged the Taliban. In fact everyone in Sri Lanka did not say one word and now suddenly everyone is screaming for justice for this brutal murder on an innocent man.

The government doesn't need to recall people. People can make their own decisions.

Foolish statement. Not for a person aspiring to be the president of the country.

Ralaharamy Monday, 06 December 2021 10:24 PM

It is a pity that JVP's thinking is so shallow. This man was working for 11 years, and if he had a slightest doubt about safety, he would have left the place long ago. This is something else, and the scoundrels who did this, tried to give a religious coloring, to drown the truth. Let us hope, that truth prevails.
