Mourning after mourning over the loved ones of these shia Muslims are now the common scenes here in Pakistan. Across Pakistan Shia Muslims have been brutally targeted.
In two separate incidents on Saturday, seven shia Muslim, all ethnically Hazaras, were gunned down in the outskirts of Quetta, the provincial capital of the most lawless province of Pakistan.
In another gruesome act of sectarian violence on Thursday a karachi-based additional and session judge Zulfiqar Naqvi, was targeted along with his guard and driver in Quetta when he was on his way to office.
Shia community says the none-stop targeted killings have claimed the lives of thousands of shia Muslims since 1980 when the Military ruler Zia-ul-Haq radicalized Pakistani society to fuel the US-funded Soviet war in Pakistani strategic backyard Afghanistan.
According to local media, over 200 Shiite Muslims have been gunned down in 2012 and the death toll of Hazara community in Quetta in last couple of years have reached over 700. In August alone, over thirty Shiites were targeted.
On Friday Lawyers in Balochistan observed a black-day throughout the province, boycotting all court proceedings to condemn the killing of a Judge hoisting black flags at bar rooms in protest. Press TV asked for the opinion of a senior lawyer of Pakistan’s apex court:
Addressing a conference organized to promote harmony among Muslims, Altaf Hussain, the Cheif of Karachi’s largest political party Mutahida Qumi Movement or MQM, expressed serious concerns over the ongoing violence against shia Muslims; and warned that if situation persists on the same pattern, every sect would call for separate state for its survival and the trend may break the country.
