Shia scout embraced martyrdom in Yazidi terrorist attack in Karachi

Shia Scout, who was critically injured in a targeted attack by Yazidi takfiri nasbi terrorists of banned Sipah-e-Sahaba on Tuesday, breathed his last at the hospital on Friday. Two of his Sunni friends were martyred on the spot.

Shiite News Correspondent reported here on Friday that Shia scout Arshad Naqvi was ambushed in Liaquatabad. His two Sunni friends were martyred due to firing and it was believed that he too was among the martyrs but doctors declared him injured.

He succumbed to fatal wounds on Friday. He belonged to Bu Turab (AS) Scouts, Karachi-based Shia scout group that has been assigned to ensure security and discipline during mourning processions. Martyr will be laid to rest at Wadi-e-Hussain (AS) Graveyard after namaz-e-janaza at Bu Turab Imam Bargah.

Shia parties and leaders have condemned the targeted murder of Arshad Naqvi. They said that Shia scouts always assisted police and rangers during mourning processions of Shia Muslims. But, now they are being targeted.

They said that police and intelligence agencies had given report that Deobandi seminaries were abetting the terrorists in such targeted attacks and organized terror activities. But, they lamented, government has taken no action against the terrorists and their abettors. They demanded immediate arrest of the killers and their abettors and capital punishment to them.

They said that it was revealed by the CCPO Lahore Chaudhry Shafiq that that banned terrorist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a sister organisation of ASWJ/Sipah-e-Sahaba, was involved in killings of their own Deobandi leaders and the assassinations of Shia and Sunni Bralevis.
