The government should provide foolproof security to all imambargahs and other places of worship
TURBAT: The December 16 attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar caused the deaths of well over a hundred innocent persons. The government, later on, sanctioned the setting up of military courts and started an operation against the Taliban in order to stop more attacks but in recent weeks, attacks on imambargahs have increased. We, as citizens of Pakistan, have now turned are backs to the plight of the helpless Shia community, members of which are being brutally murdered across Pakistan.
The government should take immediate strict action and should provide foolproof security to all imambargahs and other places of worship.
