“Murder of Urdu literature” as many here put it, Professor Syed Sibt-e-Jaffar Zaidi was a renowned Shia Scholar, poet and academic who was gunned down in Karachi by Deobandi Militans  of ASWJ-LEJ on Monday when he was commuting in the city near his college on his motorbike. The news of his death came as another Shock to the Shia Muslims in Pakistan including his students and fellow educationalists.

A renowned Shia scholar, poet, academic and social figure has been assassinated in the Pakistani port city of Karachi. Tens of thousands have taken part in his funeral procession. They protested what they called a cold-blooded murder of a scholar. Shia Muslims have been hard hit by sectarian violence in Pakistan in recent years.

Shia Muslims are angry because those responsible for killing their loved ones continuously get away scot free. That is why once again thousands of Shia Muslims take to the streets to protest against the State’s institutions who they say have miserably failed to perform their primary duty of providing security to its citizens.

Mourners consider various factors responsible for the on going acts of extremism in Pakistan.

Prof Zaidi was also one of the country’s renowned soz and marsiah reciter, a especial genres of Urdu Literature about mourning-poems that commemorate the martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad grandson Imam Hussain some 14 centuries ago in Karbala. Along with his college students he had large number of Marsia students across Pakistan

Shia Muslims makeup over 20 percent of Pakistan’s 180 million population and according to Human rights groups thousands of Shias have been killed by the banned outfits working freely across Pakistan.
