KARACHI, Pakistan: A huge bomb blast tore apart a bus carrying Azaran-e-Hussaini to Chehlum (Arbaeen) procession in the southern port city of Karachi on Friday afternoon, and barely two hours later another lethal explosion struck a hospital where many of the wounded had been taken, police and hospital officials said.At least 25 Hussainis were martyred and several others were wounded in the two attacks. The higher leader of Shiite in Pakistan Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has strongly condemned bomb blasts on the bus of Azadaran and later on the gate of Jinnah Hospital on the occasion of Chehlum Shuhada-e-Karbala in Karachi.
Terming the incidents incapability of the government in providing protection to the people he said the failed rulers have no justification to remain in power. In a statement issued from the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo, he said our combined enemy does not desire to see Pakistan prosper and wants to trample the economic jugular vein of Pakistan under a well thought-out conspiracy. Agha Moosavi said those who target the Ashoora, Chehlum and Milad-un-Nabi processions live in fools’ paradise and they should be aware that we had created Pakistan jointly and will defend it jointly also and no power in world could stop us from doing so. He said anyone who declares terrorism on the occasion of Ashoora and Chehlum of Shuhada-e-Karbala a Maktabi conflict, is not Sunni, Shia, Barelvi, Deobandi, or Ahle Hadees rather agent of the satanic powers. He said till 8th Rabiul Awwal only Gham-e-Hussain is observed therefore priority should be given to Azadari over all other matters. He said we would never allow murdering Azadari even if we all are murdered. The TNFJ chief said if the government is sincere in restoring peace then as a first step, it should break the network of 26 banned groups throughout the country including Karachi and check these elements who have been allowed by the government and the opposition to operate openly, under the Anti-Terrorism Act. Terrorism could not be rooted out unless the safe abodes of terrorists are destructed, he added. He said today our perpetual enemy is accusing us of Bombay blasts while she is committing naked aggression and terrorism against Pakistan for more that a quarter century. Therefore, the government should raise this issue at the level of United Nations and the ICC, he added. The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that we had demanded from the Chief Justice to take suo moto notice of the Ashoora incident and set up an Enquiry Board but not taking any step towards this direction provides food for thought. He said hesitation on the part of government, opposition and judiciary on the Karachi affairs raise a question mark. He said had the real culprits were arrested after setting up the Enquiry Board then the enemy would not have succeeded in carrying out these tragic activities on the occasion of Chehlum. He lamented that all energy is being wasted to overcome each other. He said making appeals to the people to remain peaceful is useless as they are already peaceful. However, the government should control the terrorists and their patrons, he added. He said our enemy is reaping the benefit of political entangling going on in Karachi. If the government, opposition and leaders have love for Islam and Pakistan then they should ponder over saving Pakistan instead of saving themselves, he concluded.
