HYDERABAD, March 23: Anjuman Naujawanan-i-Islam (ANI) activists took out a procession from the DPO office roundabout to the press club here on Friday to protest against inordinate delay in arrest of perpetrators of Nishtar Park carnage.

Speaking on the occasion, Ameer, Jamaat Ahl-i-Sunnat, Hyderabad, Moulana Mehramdin Qadri, criticized the government for having failed to ensure arrest of the terrorists who carried out last year’s Nishtar Park blast, and said that it was a great injustice with Ahl-i-Sunnat people.

ANI leaders Mohammad Ahsan Khan Rehmani, Moulana Ahmed Ali Saeedi and others warned that the conspirators were trying to divide the Ahl-i-Sunnat into different groups.

Over 60 people, including adership of Sunni Tehrik and some prominent Ulema, were killed in a powerful blast in the Karachi park where a programme celebrating Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH), the birth anniversary of Holy Prophet, was under way.

District Nazim Kanwar Naveed Jamil has assured religious scholars of providing security and other facilities to Milad-i-Mustafa processions.

He said while talking to a delegation of ulema belonging to different religious parties at his secretariat on Thursday that the district government would order the ongoing development works on the Station Road suspended on the 12th Rabiul Awwal and the road made serviceable.

The delegation comprised Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan leader and MPA Abdur Rehman Rajput, Markazi Jamaat Ahl-i-Sunnah leader Qari Mohammad Suleman Awan, Al-Haj Gulshan Ilahi, Mehramdin Qadri and Khalid Hassan Qari.
