LNP – Premier Imran Khan awards certificate of appreciation to Malik Adnan, who tried to save Priyantha Kumara

Prime Minister Imran Khan awarded on Tuesday a certificate of appreciation to Malik Adnan, who tried to save Priyantha Diyawadana from being lynched, stressing the government will not spare those who resort to violence in the name of religion.
“Malik Adnan’s bravery is an example for all of us,” the premier said while addressing a condolence reference for the Sri Lankan national Priyantha Diyawadana at Prime Minister’s Office.
Members of the federal cabinet also attended the event, which was held in solidarity with Kumara’s family and the Sri Lankan nation and government.
Addressing the event, the premier lauded Adnan’s bravery, saying “role models are important in the country because people follow them,” he said, adding that “moral power is greater than physical power.”
“I am sure our youth will remember the way Malik Adnan stood up against those beasts,” he said.
The premier said that Sialkot’s business community had informed him that they had collected $0.1 million for Kumara and that his family would continue to receive his monthly salary.
He announced that Adnan would be given the Tamgha-i-Shujaat on March 23
