Renowned Shia leader said that the government once again had failed to avert the terrorist activities like the Ashura procession in which several mourners and peaceful citizens lost their lives. “If the administration had taken collective measures, the incident would not have occurred, demanding that a higher level judicial commission should be established to conduct an impartial inquiry into the matter”, he said. He added,” We are sure that the terrorist would be expose if the govt take action sincerely”. He warned the militants that their cowardly attacks could not weaken the mourning of Imam Hussain (AS), rather it will be firm and strong in the face of every kind of atrocities.

He further demanded that compensation be paid to all those who were martyred during the 9th, 10th Muharram and Arbaeen (Chehlum) indiscriminately. He expressed his thanks to the people who endorsed the strike call given by the Shia organisations. He said a high-level judicial commission be formed to investigate the factors behind these incidents that occurred within 40 days and who were the culprits who unleashed a reign of terror in the city.

He denounced the recommendations made by the Islamic Ideology Council (IDC) regarding ban of religious obligations, he demanded of the government that the Ulema belonging to all schools of thought should be given representation in the IDC so that a consensus viewpoint should be evolved from this platform.
