    This must be strongly condemned by all political parties belonging to any side of the politcal spectrum.

    Unfortunately leaders like Nawaz Sharif cannot afford to lose Saudi support by condemning such heinous acts.

    Speak up PMLN, condemn this act!!Recommend

    @Thoughtfelon:
    ur funny if ur expecting from Sharif’s. The best solution is that Shias should declare independence from Pakistan. When Sunnis will never speak for Shias there is no point living with each other.

    The killers remain unknown for the last decade and a half. People should rise against the criminals and fanatics. Recommend

    @Complex:
    You mean there would be one shia state in every city and in some cases every village. You think that shias are being killed for the sake of Sunnis. Wrong. The terrorist have their own agenda. They are doing it for some one from whom they are getting benifits. No Sunni wants to see his shia brother hurt and vice versa.
    Its a terrorism and terrorism has no religon though they always use religon for their nefarious designs.
