Ali Salman Alvi ‏ @alisalmanalvi
Shia Killings are relentlessly continuing since 1980’s. I don’t know if that is not enough to attract some attention to this issue.

Darvesh ‏ @Darveshh Close
@alisalmanalvi Sir, there is your view. And there is second view. And there is third. And then fourth.Of course, views cannot be wrong.

Darvesh ‏ @Darveshh
That was but one attack on Mazloom Shias. Then you come up with views on these killings. What is it if not Genocide? #Pakistan

Darvesh ‏ @Darveshh
Quetta: I don’t know of any person who hasn’t lost a family member, a friend, a colleague, a teacher, a neighbor, a student. #ShiaGenocide

Shias of Pakistan must wake up. They must ask India, Iran, USA, anyone to attack and eliminate the army which is training and protecting the Shia killers.

My heart cries for my Shia brothers and sisters. What’s their crime? They are supposed to be equal citizens of Pakistan.

If ISI is not an accomplice, what has it done to secure innocent Shias?

This is how Najam Sethi, Raza Rumi and their ISI-discourse flatterer Saleem Javed misrepresented Shia genocide:

Najam Sethi uses 80-20 mix to dilute Shia genocide in Pakistan

Saleem Javed and other touts of Abdul Khaliq Hazara (pimp of Pakistan army) are part of Shia Ghetto Police.

When punjabis were skilled and assaulted in baloch areas of quetta they were forced to move out of area, there properties were seized by land grabbers, then there were some shias, hazaras & non hazaras were killed and their properties were seized too, the hazaras are surrounded by balochs and pashtoon population, they were compelled to leave the area and many who left, their properties were captured. Secondly every pashtoon and every hazara have prejudices rooted in them against each other which goes back in history to amir abdur rahman’s time afghan king during british rule, he fought battles with hazaras which resulted in migrations of hazaras to quetta. Thirdly ethnic prejudices are prevalent in police,bureaucracy and government against hazaras and shias, so its a double jeopardy. SSP and Taliban sympathizers were not only in lower ranks but in higher ranks of public offices too. On political grounds they had sympathies, in quetta it was known that raisanis had good relations with jindulla’s regi, he had a property in quetta, there were already many iranian balochs living in quetta, regi was one of them. Regi dogded law enforcing agencies and used his influences frequently. Similarly afghan taliban in quetta had stakes, influenced politicians & law enforcement agencies. Everybody knew where in quetta taliban,jindulla,SSP members resided. The ethnic, religious,tribal prejudices with economical and political interests made the suitable environment against hazaras and shias in quetta. After general musa the 1965 war hero hazara kept on losing grounds in political,economical and social scene in quetta since then it had been downward slope for community. Addtionally migrations of educated and enterprenuer lot of hazaras to other cities and abroad worsened the situation and consequently now they are most vulnerable community ln quetta.

Acc to @etribune’s editorial, correct word for #ShiaGenocide is ‘sectarian violence’, same word used by Sethi & Raza Rumi.

Read @etribune’s editorial, LeJ’s fatwa is against ‘Hazara community’. Tribune traces ‘sectarian violence’ to Sunnis not ISI.

When will urban liberal affiliates of army stop using General Zia (maloon) as a convenient scapegoat to hide ISI’s ongoing crimes?

It is most tragic that the Hazaras are now being made to feel like strangers in their own land . PHOTO: AFP/ FILE
Five more people, including a woman were killed in a drive-by shooting in Quetta on March 29, in what the provincial government described as “an incident of sectarian targeted killing” while two NGO workers were shot dead the same day by unknown assailants in Mastung. There has been a manifold increase in sectarian attacks in Balochistan recently, and it seems as though the Hazara community is specifically being targeted. In addition to yesterday’s attack, there have been numerous other incidents of violence against the Hazara community. Last September, a bus full of Shias were murdered near Quetta, while a few weeks before that there was an Eid massacre of Shias in Balochistan. Amidst the military’s offensive against separatists, we tend to forget that there is another war being fought targeting the most vulnerable community in the province.
The roots of the sectarian violence, like most discrimination against minority communities, can be traced back to the military dictatorship of Ziaul Haq. In his eagerness to impose a hardline Sunni interpretation of Islam in the country, Zia created and strengthened militant groups that initially fought in Afghanistan and Kashmir, but later turned their guns on the Shia community at home. Unfortunately, successive governments in the 1990s did nothing to throttle these militant groups and the situation kept getting worse over time.
Even before that, however, the Hazara community has been singled out by those who condemn them as imposters and infidels. The Taliban regime in Afghanistan was vicious against them. In Pakistan, it was the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi that first started issuing edicts against the Hazaras. For a community that is over half a million strong, it is most tragic that the Hazaras are now being made to feel like strangers in their own land. Although efforts are being made by the government to beef up security in the city as Frontier Corps and the police have jointly launched a search operation in different areas of Quetta and arrested suspects, more needs to be done to ensure that no more lives are lost.

I wonder why the writer of this article put saleem javd’s photo in the corner of that attacked Suzuki. what ever the writer claims in the article is completely wrong and lie. he does not have any link with the isi nor with laj or other terrorist group. He is a young man who delivers the fact about his people who are badly killed in quetta pakistan. and somebody does not want him to do so. that’s why propagates against him by linking him with isi or other groups. it is really shame of you cowards you can not do anything for the innocent people late the others do. i think you are an idiot who exaggerate about some one who loves his people. we love saleem javed , we appreciate his braveness and we thank him for his great job for his people.

The attack on Hazara Van was not because they were shia, they were attacked because they are Hazaras. who would know the van is carrying shia passengers unless they were not identified as Hazaras.
you better have logics to give headings “New Twitter activists against Shia genocide in Pakistan”
you better think twice giving such titles to the ones who think of minorities and Hazaras in Quetta.
better you leave taking dictations from your boss.
“I have been reading your tweets for a long time”

Important, unfortunately, is not that the killed ones or the martyred ones are whether Shia or not Pakistani, the problem is that people are being killed for the last ten years in here in these ways.
Unfortunate is that neither the journalists have clear and realistic approach towards all these unrest here nor people generally are interested to know the truth behind all these unrest and killings.
The reality and truth is that dictatorship always uses militancy according to their policies and thinkings, they have used it in the past(One can name and hate Gen. Zia ul Haq but the thing is that dictatorship does not need to include or exclude a personality) they will use it in the future and they are using it in this very moment.
Why it is so important that they should not use it, is because it can only turn against someone in the form of Pakistani Taliban, and those other militant groups would also be a vulnerability to the whole Pakistan.
When their majesties (The respected journalism) cut and paste it to a sect and here and there(though not necessarily all of the journalists do in this way) then I think it a fact.
The fact, to a clean eye from sect and prejudice, is that since as principle Islam states the principle of Shura which is no other form of government but people should be the first and last authority, then against this principle if dictatorship here rules and now rules in such a way that it has to use these militant groups inside here and don’t want to do something against them then(including Taliban) then it no more belongs to a particular sect and a particular crying, then it is the problem of the people of Pakistan and this problem is in such a way as it was in the case of vulnerabilities of Arab countries or Iran currently or wherever their is a dictatorship, which all Pakistanis should understand particularly these respected journalists here in this website,respectfully to them.
