ISLAMABAD, Oct 5: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) filed an adjournment motion in the National Assembly Secretariat on Tuesday seeking a debate on the recent suicidal attack on a Shia mosque in Sialkot in which 30 worshippers died and 50 others injured.

The adjournment motion, signed by MMA's Liaquat Baloch, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, Dr Freed Paracha, Sahibzada Abul Khair Muhammad Zubair, Dr Ataur Rahman, Mian Muhammad Aslam, Maulana Asadullah, Bhutto, Shabbir Ahmed Khan and Muhammad Hussain Mehnati describes the suicidal attack on Masjid-i-Zainabia, Sialkot, a conspiracy hatched by anti-Islam and anti-Pakistan forces to pit Muslims against each other.

"The incident of suicidal attack on Masjid-i-Zainabia, Maharaja road, Sialkot, on October 2 in which 30 faithful offering prayers were killed and scores of others sustained injuries, has once again created serious law and order situation in the country which is bound to increase sectarian tensions as well," the adournment motion said.

"Such incidents could endanger the national security of Pakistan which was a deep-rooted conspiracy hatched by anti-Islam and anti-Pakistan forces," it further said.

It said that terrorist activities of such nature, which could be the handiwork of external forces, shattered the confidence of the people in the performance of intelligence agencies. "There is a great disappointment among the masses due to deteriorating law and order situation which needs to be debated by the National Assembly," it said.
