Armed mobs have attacked at least two churches in Punjab province’s Jaranwala town accusing two Christian residents of blasphemy.
Videos on social media showed hundreds of people armed with batons and sticks attacking the Salvation Army Church and the Saint Paul Catholic Church, setting them ablaze, while another mob attacked private homes, torching them and breaking windows.
This comes after torn pages of the Quran, the holy book for Muslims, were found near the Christian colony with alleged blasphemous content written on them.
Police has also filed a report against two local Christian residents under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.
