The rally started from Lasbela and ended at Regal Chowk where ASWJ activists staged a sit-in while party leaders made speeches calling for the arrest of those involved in the killings.
The party leaders said they would stage sit-ins at the Governor House and the Chief Minister House if their demands are not met.
On Tuesday, three ASWJ activists, Mufti Tariq, Mohammad Jan and Raza Gul, and three supporters, Ayaz, Yar Mohammad and Ramzan, were shot down in Karachi in separate incidents.
Deceased Mufti Tariq was a religious scholar, while Mohammad Jan was the Moazzin at the Muqaddas Masjid near Kala Pul. Raza Gul was a senior activist of the ASWJ.
Karachi Police Chief Shahid Hayat had said that those who carried out the targeted attacks were identified and would be arrested.

Well, what goes around comes around
@Siraj Khan:
Can't even tolerate on the comments' section too...
Why is this a remarkable observation if the forum has minority Shia Muslim Pakistanis commenting about any news item, particularly one related to a notorious and bigoted anti-Shia Sunni extremist group that while protesting the deaths of their own gunned down sectarian activists, hypocritically openly advocates supremacist intolerance and sectarian cleansing linked with religious-political terrorist groups such as L-e-J and TTP by targeting and massacring random Shia Pakistani citizens?
@Chaigram: ahm ahm! What's going on ET?
because there are strageic assets of Army and Punjab
Ironic!
LOL
SSP/ASWJ the only party/ group lost its 5 leaders and thousands of workers.
even MWM and TNFJ didnt lose leaders like that, Hamid Moosvi , Sajid Naqvi alive from decades . . . so be logical and realistic . . .
so be ready NOW !
looks like the forum is full of shias !!!
A drone a day - keeps the fanatics away!!
@AMir you forget Sipahe mohd and others or deliberatly left it.U have to admit that funding is done both from iran n KSA.so none of two parties are innocent
Can dish it out but cant take it eh?
Send "Kamala Khan" to battle AWSJ, TTP, MQM, PML, PPP, PTI, etc etc.
Damn hypocrites.
so who killed these fanatics .. its time we understand that u need both hands for clapping.. Its just sad that these people who have their loyalities to either iran or saudia are fighting.
@kanwal: What a great idea, you are a great thinker Kanwal!!
Allah please save pakistan from these fanatics....
@sincere; these do need to be taken out thru a drone. And I'm serious.
picture of Karachi or Waziristan.... strageic assets;;one drone for the fanatics
Pakistanis in Particular and some muslims in general have a tendencies of calling anyone with a beard and a shawl a mufti or molvi. Could someone or the press let us know where Mufti Tariq was educated and for how long before he was crowned a Mufti? Thank you and this is for my edification.
we need a drone strike at the site of the sit-in..... half the turmoil in the country will be uprooted.. and the other half would beg the govt for negotiations.
P.S: i am kidding.. we should arrest the culprits and handover to these gentlemen
What an oppurtunity to catch so many hate-inciting thugs together! Go on karachi police!
Maybe ASWJ leaders should stop their hateful speeches and stop brainwashing illiterate awaam. If they are so concerned about the killings then they should go talk to the Shia leaders and form some sort of alliance. lekin phir inki daal roti ka kiya hoga ?
What this group has been doing,comes in the realm of pure extremism...but at the same time we need to realize that whole many call this a Shia genocide in Pakistan-this conflict is spanning over the 10-12 Muslim countries,and ever since the second generation of Islam. In Syria it is the other way around.
What an audacity these criminals under the guise of ASWJ got! They are obsessed with slaughtering innocents throughout Pakistan. They don't believe in democratic discourse. Logic is not their trait, and when they tasted their own medicine they are staging sit ins. I have no doubt that somewhere their blood thirsty members are right now planning to attack innocents.
