Shia leader gunned down in Peshawar

[VeeraBahadur]

PESHAWAR: A prominent Shia leader was shot dead in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar on Tuesday, officials said, sparking a protest outside a hospital where his body was taken.

The killing comes just weeks after a Shia scholar was gunned down in the same city.

“Haji Sardar Ali was shot dead in the morning in Kissa Khwani bazaar,” senior police official Faisal Mukhtar told AFP.

Ali headed the local branch of the Tehrik Nafaz-i-Fiqah-i-Jafaria, a Shia rights movement proscribed by the government for its alleged involvement in sectarian violence.

Zaheerul Islam, the deputy commissioner of Peshawar, confirmed the incident.

“Haji Sardar Ali owned a general store in (the) bazaar. He was going to his shop when unknown gunmen shot him dead,” he said.

Ali was rushed to the city's Lady Reading Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival, Mukhtar said.

An AFP correspondent at the hospital said around a hundred Shia Muslims gathered outside and chanted slogans demanding the arrest of the attackers.

There has been no claim of responsibility so far.

“It looks like a sectarian target killing but the police are still investigating the case,” Mukhtar said.

Scholar Allama Alim Al-Musvi was shot while walking to the mosque in the same bazaar on January 20.

There has been a rise in sectarian violence in Pakistan since several deadly clashes between Sunni and Shia Muslim groups near the capital Islamabad in November.

Pakistan is rife with sectarian clashes where Shias make up some 20 per cent of the country’s mainly Sunni population.

This sadly was not a Jinnah's Shia,.

Instead Ayatullah Khabeesi Shia, who was running an organization for implementation of Sharia.

Instead of Saudi Mullah Sharia

This guy (so sad to see him killed)

instead was working to implement Irani Ayatullah Sharia


This is why I say we must denounce the whole Sharia concept. Be it Sunni or Shia

othewise this shit and this killing will continue.


Sadly

Sadly

I'm not talking about Jinnah being shia ,What i meant was jinnah is needed since there is too much confrontation within two communities .

Sectarian violence is relatively less prevalent in Peshawar, unfortunately it has occurred, we need to stop this sectarian bullshit right away otherwise we will definitely face Syria's fate........

I suspected that you had some "baghal main churee and moonh main raam raam".

Sorry to see this in an educated Indian poster. Really sorry to see,

That's stupid way of looking at a political conflict. An Indian poster should worry about 26+ types of TNTs everytime they talk about one in Pakistan (as we may have only 5 or 6).

Please avoid that type of mindset. It hurt our region many times in the past and pretty much lead to foreign invasion and occupation.

Almost like Afghanistanis are doing to themslves by following 3 way TNT.

I have already explained to you that the Shia leader who was assassinated was not some secular nationalist.

He himself was a carbon copy of the Talibarbarians and exact copy of Hizbullah.

Hope you understand it now.

It doesn't matter Who invented it ,Who propagated and did is the one to blame more ,isn't it?

Jainism is mostly not known from rishabdev,its founder but mahavir, its later propogator.

Jinnah forced the idea of TNT on India not congress or any other party.

He was the one who fought for it ,Rightly/wrongly is another debate.



BTW First inventor of TNT was Sir syed ahman khan

There has been a rise in sectarian violence in Pakistan since several deadly clashes between Sunni and Shia Muslim groups near the capital Islamabad in November.

Though i can understand violence in far flung, less law enforced areas... this nonsense near your capital needs to be dealt with swiftly and with an iron hand.Alas, as is with SE Asia, the big b@stards get away.
