GILGIT: Two people were killed and 17 others were injured when two religious groups clashed here at Yadgar Chowk, near Gilgit deputy commissioner’s office.

According to police, the clash between the two groups began when the top Shia leader of Gilgit-Baltistan, Agha Rahat Hussain Al-Hussaini, was hoisting the Alam (flag) of Hazrat Imam Hussain at Khomar Chowk at the start of Muharram.

The clash left two people belonging to the Shia community dead. They were identified as Syed Iqrar Hussain, 25, a resident of Nagaral of Gilgit district; and Mohammad Ali, 15, from Hoper valley of Nagar. The firing also left 17 people injured.

According to chief secretary Mohyuddin Ahmed Wani, a shooting incident took place at Yadgar Chowk in Gilgit. He appealed to the people to remain peaceful.


GB Chief Minister Khalid Khurshid Khan, while taking notice of the incident, said a handful of miscreants were trying to disturb the peaceful environment of the city, but strict action would be taken against them. He appealed to the people to maintain peace and cooperate with the government.

Home Secretary Iqbal Hussain Khan said 44 suspects allegedly involved in the incident had been arrested and the arrest of more elements would be carried out on intelligence-based information.

He said that Section 144 had been imposed in the area for the next two weeks.

He said that Rs1 million each would be paid in compensation to the families of the two people killed in the incident while Rs300,000 each would be paid to injured persons.

Trust me, most of these Mullahs in Pakistan be they Shia or Sunni are experts at opening and running gay/LGBT nightclubs.

Northern areas were always peaceful untill our lumber 1 started madrassas that got funded from abroad on orders of uncle sam. Even shia madrassas got funded and extremism in both sects was injected.

The side who opened fire should be arrested and put on trial for murder. No matter what difference you have within schools of thought you dirty your hands with murder you are evil.
I'd also like to know who these 'sunnis' are, the term is used very loosely and I don't think this would be brelvis doing it or Tableeq.

The Indian has been thread banned, he was excusing the numerous murders of Muslims in India by his sanghi family but here he is plastering news about Gilgit.

Sorry but we are not living on rent here. My grandfather had land to his name in Punjab even before Pakistan existed. You'll just have to deal with the fact that Shias are not in the mood to let anyone else enforce their will on them. SSP, LeJ, TTP can go f*** themselves. If anyone is breaking the law, go register an FIR.

well then get used to of facing our wrath as well.......and we all can see, k huksaan zyada kiss ka hota ha hamesha!
This country is afterall a Sunni majority not shia. Get used to it.

Due to the current political and economic crisis that Pakistan is going through at present, this India script has executed as per the timetable similar to the Arab Spring. India is starting the last war we were told would win 1400 years ago. Let's play.

 

[Enigma SIG]

Gilgit as far as i've heard has a lot of issues and are usually divided into sunni/shia areas.

TBH we have a larger issue at hand here, Pakistan itself is at stake here.

 

[Umair Nawaz]

We're more than used to it. More than jhangvi tola infact, more than ttp, more than sipahe sahaba. Allah keeps humiliating our enemies. All praise to Him and Him alone.

Allah is keep on humiliating u not us.....even in this incident 2 of yr men r dead none ours due to instigation of yr Cleric not ours. U started it not us.

Abb maar khaty raho humse, or aise he aik din khatam kr diye jao gy, marny ka shouq ha to marrty raho.

 

[Umair Nawaz]

waiting for the next lashkare bhangwi, be better this time. Give us a good challenge, we're getting bored.

LOL ok then as u wish......prepare to die. BTW LeJ or others were terrorist org. They r finished.But what im talking abt is to respect the sentiments of the majority as a minority. Since majority will react, As they did in this case. And we can see who was at loss here.

 

[Umair Nawaz]

Who was at loss? The Alam is raised and still there. Terrorist exposed themselves and soon will be caught and neutralized in raids.

Praise be to Allah for making our enemies, stupid.

sweety, thats changing......authorities here also realize that they cant just make the majority against them. Specially when they know very well in a case like this Majority was instigated to react. Dont count on them for too long.

Flag maybe allowed to keep u guys content as u start playing the victims card since yr 2 men r dead.

And by loss i mean today Pak's shia population which is only 20% has shrunken more ie 2 more r dead. This is a loss 4 u since u already r a minority.

this isnt west buddy, this is Asia......Religion is a thing thats import to people here......

''He was hoisting the Alam (flag) of Hazrat Imam Hussain at Khomar Chowk'' this act he shouldnt have done since he knew very well how the majority will react to his unlawful behavior as this is a vulnerable area and has a history of sectarianism!

Generally, religious people are brain dead.
They may as well be lobotomised.

In a high IQ society people don't place religious flags in public squares. However as I said before firing and killing people on such trivial issues is stupid and unacceptable



Eff off sanghi

In a high IQ society everybody is allowed to display their religious symbols and everybody else accepts their right to do so.
It's called freedom of religious expression.

Putting religious flags in public squares isn't really a freedom of religious expression

 

[Longhorn]

sweety as i said this is Asia not west. Religion is important for people here. Thats a reality u western people need to just swallow......As the majority of Earth's population also lives in Asia.

Thats just how it is......

We don't need to swallow anything. The only reason we give a shit is because we have emotional attachments to Pakistan and want the best for it. That will die with this current generation of overseas Pakistanis. The next generation won't give a flying **** for Pakistan and won't be interested in your backward attitudes and disputes so you'll be able to to carry on with your shit without worrying about us "westerners" interfering and carping on about your murderous petty disputes.
In the meantime try and learn how the advanced countries and people think and operate in the modern world.
