They said that in the eyes of the Punjab government, it was a crime of Nasir Shirazi that he worked for unity of Muslims and Pakistanis, he worked against the takfiris and raised voice against the facilitators of takfiris within the government also. They said due to these works, Punjab government got him kidnapped.
They said that Shia Muslims would register peaceful protest during Chehlum (Arbaeen) processions against the illegal detention of Nasir Shirazi and other Shia Muslims who were subjected to the enforced disappearances.
