Over two thousand Tanzeem Ahle-Sunnat Wal Jamaat activists have threatened to “take up arms to ensure justice” unless the federal government arrests within two weeks the men involved in the Nishter Park blast. The activists made the demand in a resolution during a demonstration in Khyber Agency. They also demanded the Sindh governor, chief minister and cabinet resign for failing to ensure security and for not having arrested the terrorists involved.“Why have the perpetrators not been arrested yet if the government’s secret agencies are not involved?” queried a placard. The question was posed to the federal and the provincial governments. Landi Kotal MNA Noorul Haq Qadri led the rally, which started from Daruloom Ahle-Sunnat Wal Jamaat Jamia Junaidia Ghafooria and ended at the Jaan Plaza. Outraged protesters chanted “India, America and Israel murdabad” and “Jashn-e-Eid Miladun Nabi zindabad.” Qadri condemned the bombing and “the government’s failure to ensure security”. Pakistan’s mosques, imambargahs and other religious areas have been unsafe since the 1980s, he said. The MNA rejected that President General Pervez Musharraf was staging a war against sectarianism, saying, “There would be no bombings of mosques and imambargahs if the president was sincere in rooting out terrorism and sectarianism.”
