Reports of the arrest of a key suspect of Amjad Sabri’s murder case were doing the rounds on TV outlets, however, the police and Counter Terrorism Department officials refused to confirm any arrest.

Reports of the arrest of a key suspect of Amjad Sabri’s murder case were doing the rounds on TV outlets, however, the police and Counter Terrorism Department officials refused to confirm any arrest.

According to reports, Imran Siddiqui, a worker of a political party and an employee of District Municipal Corporation, was arrested during a raid in Surjani Town. Reports say that Siddiqui confessed to the killing and revealed the names of his companions.

He received orders via phone to kill Sabri. District Central SSP (investigations) Arib Maher and Counter Terrorism Department SSP (investigations) Naveed Khawaja who are investigating the high-profile murder did not confirm the arrest and said that there was no major development in the case.

However, during the investigation, the accused also confessed that his two companions followed and he killed Amjad Sabri with the help of the third.

One of them provided him with a weapon and asked him to shoot Sabri at Liaquatabad No.10. Imran told that he was given all the directions by his companion.

The accused has confessed that he firstly opened fire to stop the car and the next series of firing occurred after he pulled the door of the car and opened fire at the deceased.

Sabri was shot dead by motorcycle-borne gunmen in a central Karachi neighbourhood last month, triggering an outpouring of grief nationwide.

Sabri, aged around 45, was travelling from his home to a television studio to attend an iftar transmission, when a motorcycle pulled up alongside his white coloured Honda Civic and the two riders opened fire, according to police.

Sabri had hardly travelled a kilometre after leaving his house in the Liaquatabad neighbourhood when the gunmen targeted him. Another person travelling with him remained unhurt in the attack that also left a passerby woman injured.

Witnesses gave a slightly different account. “The motorcycle-riding attackers pulled up in front of Sabri’s car right in the middle of the road at Liaquatabad underpass,” said a shopkeeper in the neighbourhood.

“One of them pulled out a gun from a black handbag. He fired shots into the air before turning his gun on the car,” said the shopkeeper who didn’t want to be identified by name. One attacker was wearing a helmet, while the other had his face covered with a handkerchief. They fled unidentified and unchallenged towards Hassan Square.

Grisly mobile phone footage of the crime scene shot by an onlooker and shared on social media showed Sabri’s head slumped on his right shoulder and a pool of blood on the ground by the driver’s side where he sat.

“Our preliminary examination shows he was shot thrice in the head, face and chest,” said Dr Rohina Hassan, the additional police surgeon at the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where Sabri was taken after a private hospital in Nazimabad confirmed his death. “Sabri’s family was in shock. They did not allow us to perform post-mortem on the body,” Dr Rohina said.

Police investigators found nearly half a dozen bullet casings at the crime scene which were subsequently sent for forensic examination. According to investigators, 9mm pistol was used in most previous targeted attacks, but assassins used a 30 bore pistol to target Sabri – which is rare.

“Our preliminary investigation shows that the attackers followed Sabri from his home,” said District Central police chief SSP Muqaddas Haider. “It was a targeted killing and an act of terrorism,” Haider said, without naming possible suspects. However, police mounted a crackdown after the killing and detained around a dozen suspects for questioning. Police investigators could not get any help from CCTV cameras installed at the crime scene because all of them are out of order.

Anniversary of the destruction of the Jannatul Baqi by Ale-Saud

The demolition of Jannatul-Baqi on 8 Shawwal,1345AH (April 21,1925) at the hands of Al-e-Saud was a great tragedy in the history of Islam.

The demolition of Jannatul-Baqi (Baqi cemetery) on 8 Shawwal,1345AH (April 21,1925) at the hands of Al-e-Saud was a great tragedy in the history of Islam.

Jannat-ul-Baqi is simply a graveyard but Muslims all over the world attach it a high importance because it is situated in Madinat-ur-Rasool Where besides great companions of prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h)his infallible progenitor Imam Hasan Ibn Ali (2nd Imam), Imam Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (4th imam), Imam Muhammad Ibn Ali (5th imam), & Imam Ja`far Ibn Muhammad (6th imam), peace be upon them, are buried.

In the same year (1925), King Saud bin Abdul Aziz also demolished the tombs of holy personages at Jannat al-Mualla (Makkah) where the Holy Prophet (s)`s mother, wife, grandfather and other ancestors are buried.

According to some scholars what is happening in Hijaz is actually a conspiracy plotted by the Jews against Islam, under the guise of Tawheed. The idea to eradicate the Islamic legacy and heritage as well as to systematically remove all its vestiges was with the purpose to alienate Muslims from their history and pious personalities who have been torch-bearers to lead them to Right Path. 

Even today this devilish plan is being implemented through ISIL in Iraq and Syria. The world has already heard that the pious shrines of prophets Yunus and Shish,peace be up on them have been desecrated and then demolished by ISIL or so-called Daish. The pious tombs of great companions of prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) such as Ammar bin Yasir and Hujar bin ODAI have been demolished by the notorious ISIL in Syria. This notorious group namely Daish which is the mercenary of Saudi Arabia, the number one lackey of USA and the Zionists in the region is intermittently attacking the the great shrine of Hazrat Zainab, the grand daughter of prophet Muhammed (p.b.u.h) and the sister of the leader of the martyrs Imam Hussain (A.S).

The Origins of Al-Baqi

Literally "Al-Baqi" means a tree garden. It is also known as "Jannat Al-Baqi" due to its sanctity, since in it are buried many of our Prophet`s relatives and companions.

The first companion buried in Al-Baqi was Uthman Ibn Madhoon who died on the 3rd of Sha`ban in the 3rd year of Hijrah. The Prophet (s) ordered certain trees to be felled, and in its midst, he buried his dear companion, placing two stones over the grave.

On the following years, the Prophet`s son Ibrahim, who died in infancy and over whom the Prophet (s) wept bitterly, was also buried there. The people of Madina then began to use that site for the burial of their own dead, because the Prophet (s) used to greet those who were buried in Al-Baqi by saying, "Peace be upon you, O abode of the faithful! God willing, we should soon join you. O` Allah, forgive the fellows of al-Baqi".

The site of the burial ground at al-Baqi was gradually extended. Nearly seven thousand companions of the Holy Prophet (s) were buried there, not to mention those of the Ahlul Bayt (a). Imam Hasan Ibn Ali (a), Imam Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (a), Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (a), and Imam Ja`far Al-Sadiq (a) were all buried there.

Among other relatives of the Prophet (s) who were buried at al-Baqi are: his aunts Safiya and Aatika, and his aunt Fatima Bint Al-Asad, the mother of Imam Ali (a). The third caliph Uthman was buried outside al-Baqi, but with later extensions, his grave was included in the area. In later years, great Muslim scholars like Malik Ibn Anas and many others, were buried there too. Thus, did al-Baqi become a well-known place of great historic significance to all Muslims.

Al-Baqi as viewed by historians 

Umar Ibn Jubair describes Al-Baqi as he saw it during his travel to Madina, saying "Al-Baqi is situated to the east of Madina. You enter it through the gate known as the gate of al-Baqi. As you enter, the first grave you see on your left is that of Safiya, the Prophet`s aunt, and further still is the grave of Malik bin Anas, the Imam of Madina. On his grave is raised a small dome.

In front of it is the grave of Ibrahim son of our Prophet (s) with a white dome over it, and next to it on the right is the grave of Abdul-Rahman son of Umar bin Al-Khattab, popularly known as Abu Shahma, whose father had kept punishing him till death overtook him. Facing it are the graves of Aqeel bin Abi Talib and Abdullah bin Ja`far Al-Tayyar. There, facing those graves is a small shrine containing the graves of the Prophet`s wives, following by a shrine of Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib.

The grave of Hasan bin Ali (a), situated near the gate to it`s right hand, has an elevated dome over it. His head lies at the feet of Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, and both graves are raised high above the ground, their walls are paneled with yellow plates and studded with beautiful star-shaped nails. This is how the grave of Ibrahim, son of the Prophet (s) has also been adorned. Behind the shrine of Abbas there is the house attributed to Fatima, daughter of our Prophet (s), known as "Bayt Al-Ahzaan" (the house of grief) because it is the house she used to frequent in order to mourn the death of her father, the chosen one, peace be upon him. At the farthest end of al-Baqi is the grave of the caliph Uthman, with a small dome over it, and there, next to it, is the grave of Fatima bint Asad, mother of Ali b. Abi Talib (a)"

After a century and a half, the famous traveller Ibn Batuta came to describe al-Baqi in a way which does not in any way differ from the description given by Ibn Jubair. He adds saying, "At al-Baqi are the graves of numerous Muhajirin and Ansar and many companions of the Prophet (s), except that most of their names are unknown."

Thus, over the centuries, al-Baqi remained a sacred site with renovations being carried out as and when needed till the Wahhabis rose to power in the early nineteenth century. The latter desecrated the tombs and demonstrated disrespect to the martyrs and the companions of the Prophet (s) buried there. Muslims who disagreed with them were branded as "infidels" and were subsequently killed.

The First Destruction of Al-Baqi

The Wahhabis believed that visiting the graves and the shrines of the Prophets, the Imams, or the saints was a form of idolatry and totally un-Islamic. Those who did not conform with their belief were killed and their property was confiscated. Since their first invasion of Iraq, and till nowadays, in fact, the Wahhabis, as well as other rulers of the Gulf States, having been carrying out massacres from which no Muslim who disagreed with them was spared. Obviously, the rest of the Islamic World viewed those graves with deep reverence. Had it not been so, the two caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar would not have expressed their desire for burial near the grave of the Prophet (s).

From 1205 AH to 1217 AH, the Wahhabis made several attempts to gain a foothold in Hijaz but failed. Finally, in 1217 AH, they somehow emerged victorious in Taif where they spilled the innocent blood of Muslims. In 1218 AH, they entered Makkah and destroyed all sacred places and domes there, including the one which served as a canopy over the well of Zamzam.

In 1221, the Wahhabis entered Madina to desecrate al-Baqi as well as every mosque they came across. An attempt was even made to demolish the Prophet`s tomb, but for one reason or another, the idea was abandoned. In subsequent years, Muslims from Iraq, Syria, and Egypt were refused entry into Makkah for Hajj. King Al-Saud set a precondition that those who wished to perform the pilgrimage would have to accept Wahhabism or else be branded as non-Muslims, becoming ineligible for entry into the Haram.

Al-Baqi was razed to the ground, with no sign of any grave or tomb whatsoever. But the Saudis were still not quite satisfied with doing all of that. Their king ordered three black attendants at the Prophet`s shrine to show him where the treasure of valuable gifts were stored. The Wahhabis plundered the treasure for their own use.

Thousands of Muslims fled Makkah and Madina in a bid to save their lives and escape from the mounting pressure and persecution at the hands of the Wahhabis. Muslims from all over the world denounced this Saudi savagery and exhorted the Caliphate of the Ottoman Empire to save the sacred shrines from total destruction.

Then, as it is known, Muhammad Ali Basha attacked Hijaz and, with the support of local tribes, managed to restore law and order in Madina and Makkah, dislodging the Al-Saud clansmen. The entire Muslim world celebrated this victory with great fanfare and rejoicing. In Cairo, the celebrations continued for five days. No doubt, the joy was due to the fact that pilgrims were once more allowed freely to go for Hajj, and the sacred shrines were once again restored.

In 1818 AD, the Ottaman Caliph Abdul Majid and his successors, Caliphs Abdul Hamid and Mohammed, carried out the reconstruction of all sacred places, restoring the Islamic heritage at all important sites. In 1848 and 1860 AD, further renovations were made at the expense of nearly seven hundred thousand pounds, most of which came from the donations collected at the Prophet`s tomb.

The second plunder by the Wahhabis

The Ottoman Empire had added to the splendor of Madina and Makkah by building religious structures of great beauty and architectural value. Richard Burton, who visited the holy shrines in 1853 AD disguised as an Afghan Muslim and adopting the Muslim name Abdullah, speaks of Madina boasting 55 mosques and holy shrines. Another English adventurer who visited Madina in 1877-1878 AD describes it as a small beautiful city resembling Istanbul. He writes about its white walls, golden slender minarets and green fields.

1924 AD Wahhabis entered Hijaz for a second time and carried out another merciless plunder and massacre. People in streets were killed. Houses were razed to the ground. Women and children too were not spared.

Awn bin Hashim (Shairf of Makkah) writes: "Before me, a valley appeared to have been paved with corpses, dried blood staining everywhere all around. There was hardly a tree which didn`t have one or two dead bodies near its roots."

1925 Madina surrendered to the Wahhabi onslaught. All Islamic heritage were destroyed. The only shrine that remained intact was that of the Holy Prophet (s).

Ibn Jabhan says: "We know that the tomb standing on the Prophet`s grave is against our principles, and to have his grave in a mosque is an abominable sin."

Tombs of Hamza and other martyrs were demolished at Uhud. The Prophet`s mosque was bombarded. On protest by Muslims, assurances were given by Ibn Saud that it will be restored but the promise was never fulfilled. A promise was given that Hijaz will have an Islamic multinational government. This was also abandoned.

1925 AD Jannat Al-Mu`alla, the sacred cemetery at Makkah was destroyed along with the house where the Holy Prophet (s) was born. Since then, this day is a day of mourning for all Muslims.

Is it not strange that the Wahhabis find it offensive to have the tombs, shrines and other places of importance preserved, while the remains of their Saudi kings are being guarded at the expense of millions of dollars?

Protest from Indian Muslims

1926, protest gatherings were held by shocked Muslims all over the world. Resolutions were passed and a statement outlining the crimes perpetrated by Wahhabis was issued and included the following:

1. The destruction and desecration of the holy places i.e. the birth place of the Holy Prophet [s], the graves of Banu Hashim in Makkah and in Jannat al-Baqi (Madinah), the refusal of the Wahhabis to allow Muslims to recite Ziyarah or Surah Al-Fatiha at those graves.

2. The destruction of the places of worship i.e. Masjid Hamza, Masjid Abu Rasheed, in addition to the tombs of Imams and Sahaba (Prophet`s companions).

3. Interference in the performance of Hajj rituals.

4. Forcing the Muslims to follow the Wahhabis innovations and to abandon their own ways according to the guidance of the Imams they follow.

5. The massacre of Sayyids in Taif, Madina, Ahsa, and Qatif.

6. The demolition of the grave of the Imams at al-Baqi which deeply offended and grieved all Shias.

Protest from other countries

Similar protests were lodged by Muslims in Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Indonesia, and Turkey. All of them condemn the Saudi Wahhabis for their barbaric acts. Some scholars wrote tracts and books to tell the world the fact that what was happening in Hijaz was actually a conspiracy plotted by the Jews against Islam, under the guise of Tawheed. The idea was to eradicate the Islamic legacy and heritage and to systematically remove all its vestiges so that in the days to come, Muslims will have no affiliation with their religious history.

जनाबे फ़ातिमा ज़हरा स. की श्रेष्ठता दिल और आत्मा को इस तरह अपनी तरफ़ खींचती है कि इन्सान की ज़बान बंद हो जाती है। जो भी उनकी श्रेष्ठता और ख़ुदा और उसके रसूल की नज़र में उनके मरतबे को देखता है वह देखता ही रह जाता है कि यह बीबी कितनी महान बीबी थीं। उन्हें समझने के लिये इन्सान के पास दूरदर्शिता और बसीरत होनी चाहिये। शायद हम जैसे इन्सान न समझ पाएं, हाँ उन्हें जानने के लिये उन आयतों और हदीसों से मदद ली जा सकती है जिनमें उनकी श्रेष्ठता बयान की गई है। क़ुरआने मजीद में भी बहुत सी आयतें हैं जिनमें आपका स्थान बयान हुआ है और हदीसें भी बहुत सी हैं जिनमें आपकी श्रेष्ठता को बताया गया है। हालांकि इनके अलावा एक रास्ता भी है जिससे हम बीबी की सीरत और कैरेक्टर को जान सकते हैं और वह है उनकी ज़िन्दगी का चरित्र। इसलिये हम एक नज़र उनकी ज़िन्दगी के कुछ महत्वपूर्ण पहलुओं पर डालते हैं और देखते हैं कि उनका चरित्र क्या था और क्योंकि ख़ुदा नें उनको हमारे लिये आईडियल बनाया है इसलिये हम उनसे कुछ सीख कर अपने जीवन में लागू करें। 1. शक्ल में, बात करने में और चरित्र में आप रसूले ख़ुदा के जैसी थीं, उन्हें देखने वाले को रसूले ख़ुदा याद आ जाते थे। (हालांकि याद रहे उन्हें किसी नामहरम नें नहीं देखा बल्कि केवल महरम ही उन्हें देखते थे)। 2. ख़ुदा की इबादत और उसके साथ राज़ो नयाज़ से आपको बहुत ज़्यादा मोहब्बत थी। आप इतनी ज़्यादा इबादत करतीं थीं कि आपके पैरों में सूजन आ जाती थी और नमाज़ों में अल्लाह के डर से बहुत रोया करती थीं। 3. सप्ताह के सारे दिनों में अलग अलग दुआ पढ़ा करती थीं। नमाज़ के बाद भी विशेष दुआएं पढ़तीं थीं। आपकी दुआएं हदीस और दुआ की किताबों में आईं हैं। 4. एक दिन आप काम से बहुत ज़्यादा थक गईं तो रसूले ख़ुदा स. के पास गईं ताकि घर के कामों में सहायता के लिये एक दासी के लिये कहें। रसूले ख़ुदा स. नें दासी से भी अच्छी चीज़ उन्हें दी और वह थी एक तसबीह जिसे आप हमेशा पढ़ा करती थीं जो बाद में तसबीहे फ़ातिमा के नाम से मशहूर हुई जिसका पढ़ना हर नमाज़ के बाद मुस्तहेब है। यह तसबीह जनाबे जिबरईल ख़ुदा की तरफ़ से रसूलल्लाह के लिये लेकर आये थे। 5. शुरू शुरू में यह तसबीह एक धागे की शक्ल में थी लेकिन जनाबे हमज़ा की शहादत के बाद आप नें उनकी क़ब्र की मिट्टी से एक तसबीह बनवाई। उसके बाद लोगों नें भी ऐसा ही किया यानी जनाबे हमज़ा की मिट्टी से तसबीह बनाई। इस काम का यह असर हुआ कि शहादत की मान्यता और शहीद की श्रेष्ठता भी लोगों को मालूम हुई। 6. जनाबे फ़ातिमा स. अपनी ज़बान से भी दूसरों के लिये हेजाब की ज़रूरत और मान्यता को बयान करती थीं और अमल से भी उसे कर के दिखाती थीं बल्कि पवित्रता की सबसे बड़ी आईडियल हैं। आप फ़रमाती थीं कि औरत का सबसे बड़ा गहना यह है कि ना कोई नामहरम मर्द उसे देखे और न उसकी नज़र नामहरम मर्दों की तरफ़ जाए। एक दिन रसूले ख़ुदा स. अपने एक सहाबी के साथ आपके घर आये जोकि देख नहीं सकते थे। जनाबे फ़ातिमा फ़ौरन परदे के पीछे चली गईं। 7. कभी कभी आप पूरी रात नमाज़ पढ़ती और इबादत करती थीं और दूसरों के लिये दुआएं किया करती थीं। जब बच्चे आपसे पूछते थे कि आप केवल दूसरों के लिये क्यों दुआ करती हैं तो आप जवाब देतीं: मेरे बच्चों! पहले पड़ोसी फिर घर वाले। 8. रसूले ख़ुदा स. आपको बहुत ज़्यादा चाहते थे क्योंकि आपको ख़ुदा से बहुत मोहब्बत थी और दूसरी बात यह थी कि आपको देख कर रसूले ख़ुदा स. को हज़रत ख़दीजा की याद आती थी। 9. आप अपने पिता का बहुत आदर करती थीं, जब भी अल्लाह के रसूल आपके घर आते तो आप उनके एहतेराम के लिये खड़ी हो जातीं, उन्हें चूमतीं और उन्हें उस जगह बैठातीं जो आपने उनके लिये रखी थी। 10. आपके पास जो भी होता था चाहे पैसे हों या दूसरी चीज़ें वह ग़रीबों और उन लोगों को दिया करती थीं जिनको ज़रूरत होती थी। एक बार आपने रसूले ख़ुदा स. के पास बहुत सारा कपड़ा भेजा जिससे अल्लाह के रसूल नें बहुत से बच्चों के लिये कपड़े बनवाये। 11. आपकी ज़िन्दगी बड़ी सादा थी। दुनिया की कठिनाइयों को बर्दाश्त करती थीं ताकि आख़ेरत की नेमतों को पाएं। 12. आप ज़्यादातर घर में पति की सेवा और बच्चों की ट्रेनिंग (पालन-पोषण) में व्यस्त रहती थीं लेकिन जब दीन के लिये ज़रूरत होती तो घर से बाहर निकलतीं और दीन का डिफ़ेंस करती थीं, जैसे आपने ओहद की जंग में शिरकत की और आपका काम ज़ख़्मियों को मरहम पट्टी कराना था। 13. आप ग़ुलामों को आज़ाद करने पर बहुत ज़्यादा ज़ोर देती थीं और उसे ख़ुदा के लिये एक बहुत नेक काम समझती थीं। हज़रत अली अ. नें एक बार आपके लिये एक हार ख़रीदा उसे आपने बेचकर उसके पैसों से एक ग़ुलाम ख़रीदा और उसे आज़ाद कर दिया। रसूले ख़ुदा स. अपनी बेटी के इस काम से बहुत ख़ुश हुए और उन्होंने आपकी सराहना की। 14. आपके घर जो भी आता ख़ाली हाथ वापस नहीं जाता था। एक बार हज़रत अली अ., जनाबे ज़हरा और आपके बच्चों नें तीन दिन तक रोज़ा रखा। जब अफ़्तार का समय होता तो कोई मांगने के लिये आ जाता और सारे लोग उसको अपना खाना दे देते थे। ख़ुदा को उनका यह अमल इतना अच्छा लगा कि उसनें आपके लिये एक सूरा भेजा जिसका नाम सूरए इन्सान (हलअता) है। 15. हज़रत अली अ. और जनाबे ज़हरा स. नें घर के कामों को बाँट लिया था। पानी, ईंधन, सौदा लाना और घर से बाहर के काम हज़रत अली अ. के ज़िम्मे थे और खाना बनाना, घर की सफ़ाई और घर के अन्दर के के दूसरे काम जनाबे ज़हरा के ज़िम्मे थे। हज़रत अली अ. घर के अन्दर के कामों में भी आपकी सहायता किया करते थे। 16. आप अपने पति का बहुत ज़्यादा ख़्याल रखती थीं और उन पर पड़ने वाली मुसीबतों में उनका साथ देती थीं और उनके दुख को कम करने की कोशिश करती थीं। हज़रत अली अ. फ़रमाते थे: जब मैं घर आता था और ज़हरा को देखता था तो मेरे सारे दुख दूर हो जाते थे। हम दोनों कभी ऐसा काम नहीं करते थे जिससे एक दूसरे को दुख हो। 17. आप जनाबे हमज़ा के मज़ार पर उनकी ज़ियारत के लिये जाया करती थीं जिसका मक़सद यह था कि ख़ुदा के लिये जान देने और शहीद होने वालों का नाम हमेशा ज़िन्दा रहे और लोग उन्हें भूल न जाएं। 18. जब आप के पति और मुसलमानों के इमाम हज़रत अली अ. का हक़ छीन लिया गया और दूसरे लोग उनकी जगह आकर बैठ गए तो आप उनके हक़ के लिये घर से बाहर निकलीं और अपने इमाम का डिफ़ेंस किया और मुसलमानों को यह याद दिलाया कि उनका असली इमाम कौन है और वह किसके पीछे चल पड़े हैं। 19. शहादत से पहले आप नें जनाबे असमा से वसीयत की कि उनका जनाज़ा ताबूत में रख कर ले जाया जाए जबकि उस ज़माने में ताबूत की रस्म नहीं थी इससे पता चलता है कि आपके अन्दर कितनी पवित्रता थी और आप को अपने परदे का कितना ख़्याल था। 20. आप नें हज़रत अली अ. से वसीयत की थी कि आपको रात में ग़ुस्ल दें, रात में कफ़न पहनाएं और रात ही में दफ़्न करें और जिन लोगों नें उन्हें दुख पहुँचाया था उनको जनाज़े में (अंतिम संस्कार) न आने दें इस तरह आप नें सारी दुनिया को बता दिया कि किन लोगों नें उन पर ज़ुल्म किया है और किन लोगों से वह नाराज़ रही हैं।
 

Pakistani Shia advocate shot martyred in D.I.Khan on Eid al-Fitr

 The killing of a Shiite lawyer in Pakistan's DI Khan on first day of Eid al-Fitr sparked widespread protests.

According to the police, the incident took place even though security had been tightened. This was the fifth such attack in the last few months. Always terrorists of ASWJ known as Sipah-e-Sahabah of Pakistan take responsibility for the targeting Shiite people. They call Shia Muslims as infidel.

An official reported unidentified people on a motorbike, gunned down Advocate Shahid Abbas Shirazi near Wensam College in DI Khan. The incident triggered widespread protests and aerial firing. An official, who requested anonymity, said the culprits had managed to victimise a well-known figure from the Shia community.

Locals said the killing triggered a protest – people took to the streets against the district administration. The locals also closed their shops.

The angry protesters including women and children staged the protest at Multan Road and chanted slogans against the provisional government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where  the protesters are demanding the justice for martyr and the arrest of takfiri terrorists.

Incidents of terrorism are still continue in Dera Ismail Khan. When will government, judiciary and law enforcing agencies will take into action.
