The PPP chairman said that the government should conduct a transparent investigation into this tragedy and those responsible should be punished. “The mob killings are a question mark on the government’s writ,” he said. Bilawal said that the image of Pakistan in the international community was being damaged continuously due to lynching incidents in public places. He said that angry groups could not be left unchecked. “This will make the whole society insecure,” he added.
