MP Urges UNSC to Call for Extraordinary Session on Massacre of Pakistani Shiites

Chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi called on the UN Security Council to hold an extraordinary session to study and adopt a proper reaction to the ongoing massacre of the Shiite community in Pakistan.

MP Urges UNSC to Call for Extraordinary Session on Massacre of Pakistani Shiites


 
 
 


Speaking to FNA on Saturday, Boroujerdi said that massacre of Shiites has created "very woeful conditions" which have provoked the sentiments of the world Shiites, the entire Muslims and the world nations.

He lashed out at the western states' silence on the continued massacre of the Shiite community in Pakistan, and said, "The westerners and the UN which hold extraordinary UNSC sessions for minor incidents now show indifference vis-à-vis these (highly crucial) developments."

"The UN Security Council should hold extraordinary sessions to study the massacre of the Pakistani Shiites in a bid to put an end to it at the earliest."

Boroujerdi further called on Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) to show political determination to end the ongoing violence against the Shiite community.

Earlier today, thousands of Iranian seminary students and teachers staged a protest gathering in the grand mosque of the holy city of Qom to strongly condemn the recent bomb attacks and killings of the Pakistani Shiite community.

Pakistani Shiites have come under increasing attacks in recent months. In a recent case, over 45 Shiites were killed in a terrorist attack on the Shiite Community in Karachi last Sunday.

The seminarians from Qom and other Iranian cities gathered in Qom's grand mosque today to show their protest and anger against the brutal killings of Shiite Muslims in neighboring Pakistan.

Prominent religious figures and personalities, including Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi, also joined the protesters who chanted slogans against the brutal attacks on the Pakistani Shiite community.

Last week, Head of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi strongly condemned the bomb attack in Karachi, and urged all Pakistani security and intelligence bodies to show proper reaction to such inhumane acts.

"Pakistan's intelligence agencies should expedite their efforts for the arrest and execution of anti-Shiite terrorists in the country," Boroujerdi said.

He further called on Muslim scholars and thinkers to adopt stricter stances against the massacre of Shiites.

In a statement last week, the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly deplored the terror attack on Shiite Pakistanis last week.

The ministry expressed sympathy with the relatives of the victims, and added that such terrorist moves serve the divisive policies of the enemies of Pakistan's Muslim nation and harm the country's interests.

The statement called on the Pakistani government and prominent religious figures in the country to take proper actions to prevent similar attacks in future.

The statement also asked the international community to play a serious role in an all-out fight against terrorism which is considered as a threat to all nations.

Police officials announced later on Sunday that at least 45 people have been killed by the bomb explosion in Karachi.

The blast in the mainly Shiite Muslim area of Abbas Town destroyed several buildings and set others on fire. Some reports spoke of a second explosion.

No group has yet said it planted the bomb, which went off near a mosque as worshippers left evening prayers.
