HYDERABAD, Feb 10: The Shia Ulema Council staged a demonstration at Qadamgah Maula Ali after Friday’s prayers in protest against the killing of about 35 mourners in bomb blasts in Hangu on Ashura day.

Led by Qazim Shah Naqvi, the protesters raised slogans against the United States and the Sipah-i-Sahaba.

Council leader Nizamul Hyderi said that in order to divert attention of the Muslims from publication of blasphemous cartoons in the European newspapers, America had masterminded killings of people in Hangu through its local agent.

He said the Shias and Sunnis were brothers and those who were trying to create sectarian riots were the enemies of Islam.
