The next 24 hours are crucial for Sindh as far as law and order is concerned, said Home Minister Manzoor Wasan on Monday.
Wasan said emergency has been declared at all hospitals and high-alert orders have been issued to police, Rangers and Frontier Constabulary.
The home minister was talking to the media after a procession of mourners was attacked in Khairpur district, resulting in injuries to at least five participants.
He said the attack by extremists was a conspiracy by the enemies of Islam and Pakistan. “Sindh is the land of Sufis and the people of the province practice brotherhood,” he added. Wasan said those responsible for the incident would not be spared. A committee headed by SSP Irfan Baloch has been constituted to probe the matter, he added.
