SKARDU (PR): PTI leader Imran Khan has asked the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take suo motto notice of Shia killings in Baluchistan and Gilgit/Baltistan.

On a visit to Skardu Imran Khan while addressing a press conference with a prominent Shia leader of the region Sheikh Jaffery and leader of Sunnat Wal Jamaat  Maulana Khalil emphasised that the government has completely failed to maintain law and order. The killing of 21 Shia passenger in a bus at Babusar pass was terrible tragedy, he said, and a visible manifestation of complete failure by the government. Imran Khan said that the Chief Justice of Pakistan is taking suo motto of matters that are relatively trivial but not doing the same for sectarian killings. He said it is good that the Supreme Court is taking notice of government failures in other spheres but the matter of shia killings requires its special consideration.

During the visit Mr Khan made a special effort to promote sectarian harmony by contacting leaders of all sects and visiting them. He promised that Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf will continue to raise its voice against terrorist organizations that are deliberately trying to create conflict in the country through sectarian murders.

  1. Communal harmony is one of the great challenge to the leadership of the fragmented nation of this country ,where the fabrics of society was systemically destroyed by the Zia regime. unfortunately the fragmentation and fault lines are widen with time and we hope PTI under the able leadership of Imran Khan will undertake the radical surgery to remove the most malignant diseases of our society.

  2. by now non of the top leaders have took initiatives to fill the chasm that exists among communities based on sectarianism . relying on these bluff masters and expecting good from them sounds absurd and is wastage of time. if there is someone to take initiatives, it is every individual himself.
