Approximately 25% of Pakstan's population is Shia and therefore one fourth of the target killings in the city are statiscally likely to be of peeple from the shia community. Opportunist parties like Majlis Wahdatul Muslamineen should refrain from releasing such statements without going into details. The victim might have been an unfortunate target of bhatta collectors!
