[DAWN] Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab...
on Thursday visited the family of a Christian couple burnt alive by a mob in Kot Radha Kishan near Lahore for allegedly desecrating pages of the Holy Koran.
That won't bring them back to life, nor will it less their final suffering.
The chief minister announced Rs5 million from the provincial government as compensation for the family of the dear departed as well as 10 acres of land.
Some sardar or malik or something will have the land jumped within in year. The Rs5 million's probably not enough to buy the family out of serfdom.
Condoling with the family for their loss, Shahbaz also announced that the Punjab government will take care of the couple's three children and provide for their education and well-being.
"We;ll find a nice madrassah for them, and find good Moslem husbands for the girls."
"There is no limit to which this dreadful act can be condemned. The perpetrators will be tried under anti-terrorism and will be given harsh punishment," he said.
Not nearly enough evidence. It'll all be forgotten in six weeks or less.

50 villagers who were believed to be part of the mob that beat the couple to death.
