UK minister condemns Hazara killings
LONDON: A British government minister, Lord Tariq Ahmad, has condemned the bomb attacks in Quetta, which have killed more than 80 people from the Shia Hazara community.
“Yet again we see the ruthless and inhumane attacks rocking the fabric of Pakistan civil society. The bombing sought and achieved its aimof killing scores of innocent people specifically targeting members of the Shia Hazara community and I condemn these terrorist attacks in the strongest terms. "The perpetrators of such evil actions cause untold damage to a country and then seek to justify their actions by using the veil of religion,” said Lord Tariq, who is Lord in Waiting to the Queen Elizabeth II at her majesty The Queen’s household and a front bench spokesman covering three departments - international development, justice and communities & local government.
He said bombings and killings are not justified in Islam and those carrying out such acts are enemies of Islam and Pakistan, who want to weaken the foundations of Pakistan and divide it on sectarian lines.
He appealed to all Pakistanis to unite.
“All people, politicians and indeed all parts of Pakistan society must seek to work collectively irrespective of creed faith or background to eradicate this heinous evil from their country. This cannot be allowed to continue. I also extend my condolences to the bereaved families and pray for the departed souls - may Allah grant fortitude to all those affected. Amen.”
