Hazara Community continued sit-in along with 86 bodies on Alamdar road, Quetta for the third consecutive day on Sunday. The community has refused to bury the dead until their demands of more security for the vulnerable community are met.

A spokesman of Majlis Wahdatul Muslimeen Abid Hussain said that protest will continue till the acceptance of their demands.

He demanded compensation for the victims of Thursday’s deadly attacks in Quetta and ample security measures for the Hazara community.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf left for Quetta Sunday to take stock of the situation in the provincial capital after the talks between the government and protestors broke on Saturday.

Federal Ministers Qamar Zaman Kaira and Omar Gorgaj were accompanying the PM during the visit, during which they would hold discussions with the provincial administration and Hazara community leaders.

Half-hearted government efforts failed to quell a protest that brought thousands onto cold, wet streets for a second night to watch over the bodies of 86 people killed in one of Pakistan’s worst sectarian attacks.

Federal Religious Minister Khursheed Shah, who flew to Quetta at President Zardari’s order, failed to persuade the Quetta Yakjehti Council (QYC) leaders to end the sit-in and sought one-day time to respond to the demands of the Yakjehti Council.

  1. Pakistan Shiite refused burying their dead until Pakistan PM Raja Pervez Ashraf Guarantees their safety in Quetta. Pakistan Shiite influenced BBC Headlines to picture Pakistan Shiite minorities as endangered species murdered for fun by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi who ain’t Muslims but Sunni criminals. BBC never bothered to learn some geography that Quetta is the Sunni capital of Baluchistan which swarmed by 500,000 Stateless Shiite parasitizing on its vulnerable economy and Sunni lifestyle. The bomb blew up in snooker-hall full Shiite who are supposed to be in mosque not boozing around during Friday Juma prayer. Shiite are under 10% not 20% of Pakistan population as BBC stats. Pakistan PM Raja Pervez Ashraf must not drain state treasury on ethnic cleansing. He must advice Shiite to pack up and go back to Iran where they belong.
