KARACHI, Dec 28: The All-Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA) has condemned the bomb attack on a church in Daska, Punjab, on Christmas day in which four people have been killed and demanded the arrest of the culprits.

The Sindh APMA chief and former member of the Sindh Assembly, Saleem Khursheed Khokhar, and a former MPA, Michael Javed, said after the Sept 11 terrorist attacks in New York, Christians’ religious places and other organizations in the country had been attacked and several people had been killed in such attacks. This had increased the sense of insecurity among the community.

They said immediate arrest of those involved in the attack would restore the sense of security among the minority community.
