The MMA today Announced A Protest Campaign, Today Innocent Worshipers Are Killed In Imam Bargah:  Dr. Imran Farooq

London 4 July 2003

The MQM convenor Dr. Imran Farooq has strongly condemned the attack on Imam Bargah in Quetta where dozens of innocent persons lost their lives, and scores were injured.  He said that only today the MMA announced a protest campaign and today innocent worshipers are killed in Imam Bargah. He questioned the merit of the protest that began with shedding the blood of innocent Muslims?  Does Islam permit shedding of blood for political gains?  What justification is there to kill and maim in the name of Islam?   Dr. Imran paid condolence to the bereaved families, prayed for the salvation and prayed for quick recovery of those injured.

He appealed the president Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Prime Minister Zafarullah Jamali and his government to arrest those responsible and their protectors, as quickly as possible, so they can get exemplary punishment for killing innocent citizens.
