The Jaferia Alliance Karachi (JAK) has announced that it will observe Eid-ul-Azha as a "day of mourning" against the killing of members of their community, and if killing is not stopped, the alliance will stage a protest march to the Sindh Governor's House and Islamabad. Allama Abbas Kumaili announced the decision while speaking to the participants of a procession against the killing of Shia Muslims. He demanded arrest and death sentences to all those Mullahs who had been issuing Fatwas for killing in the name of religion. Despite announcement of a drive against terrorism by President Pervez Musharraf, the killing of Shia Muslims continued.
"As the government has failed to protect Shia Muslims, we demand that the government issue arms licences to our community to protect ourselves," he added.
"When guns are outlawed only Pashtuns will have guns." |
