He added that he remained in constant contact with all the political leaders, including Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Nawaz Sharif, Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader Altaf Hussain and Awami National Party leader Asfandyar Wali Khan.
All those injured in the blasts that were shifted to Aga Khan Hospital in Karachi will have their medical expenses covered by the government, the prime minister said.
Protestors reiterated that they will bury their dead once governor rule has been officially implemented.
PM Ashraf also stated that immediate family members of the deceased will be awarded jobs in the government.

I personally want to thank all shias of Pakistan to show such unity and give the rest a hope. This is the beginning of the REVOLUTION!
This news seals the political career of Gilani. It was fun while it lasted. Time to look for another job.
I like PM Ashraf better than Gillani. Since taking office he has remained prompt and seems less reluctant to offer funds, medical help and a statement as Gillani would comment in the aftermath of something avoiding any discussion during a turmoil.
Is the killing only occurring in balochistan? is karachi,peshawar, n.waziristan, parachinar, gilgit , going fine?
Interior minister should have resigned. PM do you have guts to sack your interior minister?
A third world democracy indeed...but this shows it does work when people focus on an issue collectively.
This only happens in Pakistan, the laughing stock of this world.

Mr. Kaira, FYI, you and your boss are not dictators, but servants of a democratic nation. How does it feel to be answerable to the same oublic which has elected you in the first place?
