Countrywide protest observed on Friday to condemn Alamdar Road Tragedy

Shia Muslims observed a countrywide protest on Friday to condemn the Alamdar Road Tragedy on an appeal of Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen’s secretary general Allama Raja Nasir Abbas Jafri.

Protest rallies and demonstrations were held in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Quetta and other small and big cities.

The supporters of the MWM thronged Mehfil-e-Shah-e-Khorasan and marched to Imam Bargah Ali Reza (AS) via Numaish and M A Jinnah Road. They were carrying banners and placards. They were raising slogans against the United States, Zionist regime of Israel and their local agents for terrorism in all over Pakistan.

“We always condemned terrorism all in its forms. We exposed the terrorists but government turned a deaf ear to our hue and cry and now you see security agencies too fall victims to the same terrorists,” said Maulana Sadiq Raza Taqvi, MWM Karachi secretary general.

Speaking to the protestors, he said, a local takfiri group who declare Muslims as non-Muslims because of sectarian differences was involved in the massacre of innocent Muslims including Shiites and the takfiri group publicly claims responsibility for the massacre of innocent people. He said that unfortunately, government and security agencies took no action against the terrorists.

Agha Mubashir Hassan said that the outlawed terrorist groups rule Pakistan and they have always challenged the writ of the government.

“MWM condemns massacre of Sunni and Shia Muslims on Alamdar Road Quetta. We express our profound condolence and sympathy with the bereaved families and heirs of the martyrs of the carnage,” he said.

In Karachi, demonstrations were staged outside Khoja Jamey Masjid Kharadar, Gulistan-e-Johar, Jafar-e-Tayyar, Jamey Masjid Noor-e-Iman Nazimabad. Maulana Mohammad Hussain Karimi, Maulana Ali Anwar Jafri, Allama Salman Hussaini, Mubashir Hassan, Asghar Abbas Zaidi, Sajjad Akbar, Maulana Rehmat Ali Solangi and Maulana Fateh Ali spoke.
