Shia Muslims in Karachi will stage sit-in protests outside Chief Minister’s House on Sunday in second phase their ongoing protest against the Shia genocide, Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen has announced on Saturday.

Addressing a hurriedly called Press Conference here in Karachi on Late Saturday night, MWM Leader Allama Hassan Zafar Naqvi warned the government not to push the Shiite Muslims to the wall saying that the Federal and Provincial governments had failed to protect Shia Muslims from Takfiri terrorists.
“We are suffering the genocide of our community from last 30 years”, Allama Hassan Zafar said and added that we are going to record our peaceful protest on 1st June outside CM House Sindh.
He urged the Government of Sindh not to create hurdles on the way of peaceful rally held against #Shiagenocide in Karachi saying that Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ebad and Chief Minister Sindh Qaim Ali Shah are also responsible of ongoing genocide of Shia Muslims.
Allama Hassan Zafar said that we want ruthless operation against terrorists involved in Shia killing and target killing of karachiites saying that this is the responsibility of the government to protect the citizens from terrorists but they had failed to perform their constitutional duties
Allama Hassan Zafar said that since targeted operation began in September 2013 to date, more than 130 Shia Muslims have been murdered in Karachi and among them were eminent scholars, doctors, lawyers, engineers. He said that now Yazidi takfiri terrorists of banned outfits targeting businessmen.
“Shia Muslims appeal to all the victims of terrorism to join the MWM’s protest on Sunday June 1. Rally will be staged from Numaish Chowrangi to CM House. Today, they have blocked the roads leading to CM House so that teachers cannot go there to register protest. We demand the Chief Minister to stop terrorism instead of teachers,” he said.
“Government must shoulder its responsibility because the Constitution made it obligatory on the rulers to protect the lives and properties of citizens of Pakistan and if they cannot do this job, they must quit, ” he urged.
He lashed out at the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for not inviting Shia parties at high-level meeting he presided over to discuss law and order situation in Karachi. He said that it reflected sort of bias Prime Minister had with the victims of terrorism. He said that the PMLN government had bowed to Saudi monarchy at US dollars 1.5 billion and they are protecting the Yazidi takfiri terrorists of outlawed outfits in the name of talks with them instead of launching military operation to liquidate them.
“Provincial governments are emulating the federal government and they too took no action to eliminate the terrorists. The most inept, incompetent of them is Sindh Chief Minister who holds home ministry as well but failed to liquidate the terrorists. Banned terrorist outfits’ leaders are accorded official protocol and this approach has encouraged and emboldened the terrorists,” he said.
