Source: press tv
The protesters and relatives of the victims on Sunday accused the Islamabad government of failing to provide security for Pakistan’s Shia community.
At least nine Shias have been killed in a series of attacks in the cities of Karachi and Quetta since Wednesday.
The protesters also condemned the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for having “a secret deal” with Saudi Arabia and Bahrain to send mercenaries to the Arab states.
They also voiced outrage at the government for receiving a 1.5-billion-dollar financial aid from Saudi Arabia.
Islamabad says the aid is to help Pakistan’s economy, but the protesters dismiss the government claim.
Reports say the terrorist group of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) has been behind most of the attacks on Shia Muslims in the country.
