Just few days ago on 25th June, terrorists of Sipah-e-Sahaba now they are known as Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jammat did firing on Imambargah Masumia and also tortured one Shia Irfan Naqvi, who was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Police arrested red handed four culprits of ASWJ activists – Asghar, Ashraf, Qasim and Dilawar – from Hassan Colony Nazimabad, but later on they released.

Though I am one of the opponent of SSP and dislike their methodologies but instead of these I don’t think that without any significant proves and court decisions, we should start accusing and alleged them.
In the civilized society only court decision can make some one guilty. I think now we should at least start behaving like civilized society.
Criticizing them on the ground of ideology and methodology is the right job to do…..

Hate speech leads to violence. Haq Nawaz Jhangvi’s speech:
Even sadder is the fact that media continues to ignore these killings evidently at the behest of They who must not be named.
This wave of sectarian violence is an effort by the terrorist to initiate a rift between the peaceful and tolerant Muslims of Karachi city. We must fight and help the people of Karachi and make sure that the terrorists fail in their sick purposes.
