QUETTA: A shutterdown strike was observed in the city on Sunday to protest against Saturday’s sectarian attack which killed 11 people.
The strike was called by the Hazara Democratic Party and backed by Aithade Tajeeran-e-Balochistan.
Most business and shopping centres remained closed in Mezan Chowk, Brewery Road, Alamdar Road, Marri Abad, Hazarat Town, Jinnah Road and adjoining areas.
The members of the Hazara Democratic Party burnt tyres and forced shopkeepers to shut their businesses. Police arrested around dozen people who were forcing shopkeepers to close their shops. A police official said that a high level meeting was held to review the law and order situation across the province.

The incident was tragic and culprits of all crimes should be dealt according to the law.
Why dont they (Hazaras) think of going back to their homeland i.e Afghanistan and claim peace and security from their government?

Why should Hazara leave Pakistan, Hazara has scarificies his everything for Pakistan than how could you say that Hazara should leave Pakistan and go to Afghanistan,
In 1965 when indian troops attack on various areas of border of Pakistan the chief of army of that time was an ethnic Hazara, his name is General Muhammad Musa, His strategy was like that the enemy should go back no other choice was left for the enemy,
Hazara poineer in 1906 has surved for British Indian, When Muslim League was established for the independent of Pakistan, from Balochistan region another politican by the name of Qazi Muhammad Essa was as well an ethnic Hazara,
In history of Hazara in Pakistan, Hazara everytime try to protect the interest of Pakistan from the point of view of Pakistan,
Pakistan is as well an ethnic country tell me the name of any other ethnic group in Pakistan that they are in minority but they surved Pakistan in such manner,
Name anyone?????????
I know you have no answer than never express your thoughts about my nation,Recommend
Dear Sheikh,
most of Hazaras living in Quetta are there before Pakistan was born. For them it is not only a difficult process to return back to Afghanistan but looks nearly impossible. But it is certainly pity sometimes hearing from ppl to leave back to Afghanistan. I wounder why Allah has remove his blessings from Quetta city and Pakitan, I think it might be because of our HATE for each other……where we can see that after living more then a century together we are onto to oppress a weak fellow and force them leave…..I think we forgot that Allah(if we believe) did not put any border for this land and neither gave us the authority.

Unfortunate Hazaras are not being targeted dute to their ethnicity or race but they are beng targeted due to their sect, i.e. being Sha. The recent bloodshed of Hazras is a vicious act committed by humans worse than animals.
