QUETTA, Dec 11: The Balochistan Jafari Alliance, has urged members of the provincial assembly, particularly ministers of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal in the coalition government, to play their role in curbing terrorists who wanted to fan sectarianism to create misunderstanding between the two major sects.

Speaking at a press conference at the press club on Sunday, Allama Maqsood Ali Domki, chief of the alliance, alleged that within the past week a religious personality was killed in Dera Murad Jamali and another person was killed in Quetta.

He said that the government was indecisive about punishing terrorists.

He said that Sunnis and Shias and different ethnic groups had been living in Balochistan like brothers for centuries but for couple of years terrorists had killed hundreds of innocent people belonging to the Shia sect, and added that such activities by a small group were aimed at fanning hatred between both the sects.

Mr Domki stated that it was the responsibility of parliament members, nazims and councillors to raise voice against the oppression. He said that the provincial government, especially MMA ministers, should not remain silent regarding the excesses being committed against innocent people.

The JA chief announced that a protest would be observed on December 16 in the province and in Quetta a procession would be taken out to condemn the oppression and terrorism.
