Speaking to FNA, Secretary of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mohammad Hassan Asafari said that parliament's presiding board will definitely discuss the recent bomb attacks and killings of the Pakistani Shiite community in its Sunday session.
"We will also ask the foreign ministry to ask Pakistan's envoy for explanations (about the issue)," he said, and added, "And if this move proves to be ineffective, we will make use of our other authorities."
"The government of Pakistan should explain why it has not shown a decisive reaction to these terrorist activities," the Iranian lawmaker said.
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.
