Shia ulema council asks govt to step down

QUETTA - Leader of Shia Ulema Council Pakistan Balochistan chapter Allama Ghulam Mehdi Najafi while strongly condemning suicide blast at Civil Hospital Quetta has said that if govt was unable to ensure safety of people than it should step down.

Addressing a Press conference here on Saturday flanked by other religious leaders demanded for immediate probe into the suicide blast through a high-level committee that had claimed life of a journalist and several other innocent people. He said that people had highly appreciated the suo moto notice against incidents of target killings by Chief Justice of Balochistan High Court.

‘We hope that perpetrators of deadly suicide blast would be arrested and brought to justice’, he added.

Ghulam Mehdi Najafi alleged that Quetta was confronted with a grave situation due to terrorist acts while govt had failed to curb the incidents of terrorism. ‘It is the responsibility of the govt to provide protection to its people, otherwise it has no justification to remain in power’, Najafi remarked.

Can anyone tell them that this current regime is impotent and can not save their lives? do they not know that sitting president doesn't want to reveal the names of murderers of his wife? Do they not have the information, that decisions of stepping down are not made in castle of Islam (Pakistan) and are done by our "guardian" of Islam (America)?

They should know that...
