Adnan Malik is being hailed for trying to save his fellow worker Priyantha Diyawadana from the mob in Sialkot city of northern Pakistan.
Malik Adnan, a colleague of the slain Sri Lankan citizen, will be awarded Tamgha-i-Shujaat, or the 'Medal of Bravery' for "endangering his own life by physically trying to shield the victim," Prime Minister Imran Khan announced on Twitter on Sunday. Videos circulating on social media showed Adnan physically shielding the Sri Lankan in an attempt to save him from the vigilante mob."On behalf of the nation I want to salute moral courage & bravery of Malik Adnan who tried his utmost to shelter & save Priyantha Diyawadana from the vigilante mob in Sialkot incl endangering his own life by physically trying to shield victim. We will award him Tamgha i Shujaat," Khan wrote on Twitter.
A highly sensitive issue in the Muslim-majority country, blasphemy charges carry a death penalty in Pakistan, but many people have been killed by mobs without their cases making it to court.

To what end? The killers of the Sri Lankan man will go SCOT-FREE: the ridiculous judicial system operating in Pakistan will eventually let them go! Filing a case on 900 people is a joke & dust in eyes of those who want justice. That dummy of a PM is a completely USELESS BUGGER !
To Honor his courage let's have a draw Muhammad cartoon day.
Sorry 🇱🇰
This is an incredibly reasonable decision of the government of Pakistan. Unfortunately, that SrilankanManager lost his life .
