Militants of banned Sipah-e-Sahaba have shot martyred a Shia scout in Karachi on Tuesday evening.
Shia scout Ishrat Hussain was ambushed in Liaquatabad. He embraced martyrdom due to firing of takfiri terrorists. He belonged to Bu Turab (AS) Scouts, Karachi-based Shia scout group that has been assigned to ensure security and discipline during mourning processions.
Shia parties and leaders have condemned the targeted murder of Ishrat Hussain. They said that Shia scouts always assisted police and rangers during mourning processions of Shia Muslims. But, now they are being targeted.
They said that police and intelligence agencies had given report that Deobandi seminaries were abetting the terrorists in such targeted attacks and organized terror activities. But, they lamented, government has taken no action against the terrorists and their abettors. They demanded immediate arrest of the killers and their abettors and capital punishment to them.
