The speakers condemned the Pakistani government for its failure to provide security to the Shia community in the country.

Speaking on the occasion, Sheikh Nazir said that this is not the first of its kind in Pakistan, Shia target killing has remained a trend in the country. The enemies of Islam and Ahl-al-Bait have their hands in this killing. The current and previous governments in Pakistan have failed to provide security to the Shia community in Pakistan.

As like the Shia youth in Iraq, who on the orders of Ayatollah Syed Ali Sistani put an end to ISIS in Iraq, Sheikh Nazir appealed to the government of Pakistan and supposed that the Shia youth if armed have the potential to protect themselves and will also clean the country from terrorism.

Sheikh Nazir also emphasised non the Hijab row in Karnataka and said that the Hijab is both a constitutional and religious right of Muslim women. But the unfortunate ban on Hijab in schools is a grave injustice with the Muslim girls which is unbearable.

He also raised the issue of a sudden fee hike in the University of Ladakh and appealed to the administration to deduct the fee and to extend the date of admission.

On the other side, in a press release Anjuman Imamia Leh Ladakh on behalf of the people of the Shia community Leh strongly condemned the barbaric and cold-blooded killings of Shia devotees. Anjuman Imamia Leh also expressed solidarity with the Shia community of Pakistan at this juncture and condoled the bereaved families of victims.

It urges the Government of India and the International community to pressurize the Govt. of Pakistan to bring the culprits to book at the earliest and ensure protection to the minority Shia community in that country.
