Govt fails to curb sectarian violence in country: Shia organizations

LAHORE: The Majlis-i-Wahadat-Muslameen (MWM) and the Tehrik-i-Nifaz-i-Fiqh-i-Jafaria condemned the Rawalpindi suicide attack and said that the government failed to curb sectarian violence in the country.

At least four persons including a police sub-inspector were killed and 17 others injured in a suicide blast that occurred near an Imambargah in Gracy Line area near airport in Rawalpindi on Tuesday night.

In a press conference at the Lahore Press Club, the MWM leader Allama Nasir Abbas said that the culprits involved in the killings of clerics in Punjab were not arrested.

The MWM leader demanded of the government to expose the elements involved in the suicide attack in Rawalpindi that left four persons dead and 17 others injured.

There has been a rise in sectarian violence in Pakistan after several deadly clashes between Sunni and Shia Muslim groups in Rawalpindi’s Raja Bazaar area last month.

On Sunday night, a Shia cleric Allama Nasir Abbas was killed in Lahore after addressing a religious gathering.

Likewise, unknown gunmen killed a senior Shia university director along with his driver in Lahore on November 19, while another Shia leader and his guard were killed in Karachi in early December.

Three days later, the chief of the Sunni organization Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jammat for Punjab province Shamsur Rehman Muawiya was killed in Lahore.
