During the visit, the caretaker Prime Minister will extend his solidarity to the Christian community and is anticipated to announce compensation for the losses suffered by those affected.
In the wake of an alleged incident of blasphemy a few days ago, an enraged mob resorted to setting fire to churches, numerous houses, and vehicles. Police authorities have taken swift action, registering cases under various legal provisions and detaining over 100 individuals.
