Re: Peshawar attack scares the hell out of the likes of Hafiz Saeed, Musharraf
Don’t know the answer to that but maybe others can answer. The spokesperson for Lal Masjid after great pressure by the awesome Lal Masjid protests finally condemned the incident and blamed India and Israel. Here in Australia they had an article on him. I don’t understand what motivation can be for such an inhuman attack.
The protest against extremists and conspiracy theorists like Abdul Aziz is something we can support. The article mentioned a Pakistani hindu by names of Kapil Dev who was at the Lal Masjid protests. actually great to see that organisers of this protest were supportive and accomodating of people of all backgrounds from students at madrassas and religious minorities.
Maulana Abdul Aziz feels the heat
**The protest was organised by Jibran Nasir, a rights activist who hails from Karachi. The protesters started gathering outside Lal Masjid at 6 p.m. They shouted slogans against Maulana Aziz and lit up candles in memory of the school children, who were brutally murdered by the Taliban militants.
“Today we have reclaimed G-6 sector from the clutches of Red Mosque. This protest indicates that liberal forces too have the right to disagree with the ideology of Maulana Abdul Aziz,” said Kapil Dev, one of the protesters. “Let them (religious students) shoot me dead. Being a Hindu, I will continue my voice for the innocent students of Peshawar.”
“Abdul Aziz is still a sympathiser of Taliban,”Jibran Nasir, who had contested election in NA-250 Karachi as independent candidate against PTI leader Arif Alvi, said while addressing the charged crowd.
The protesters shouted in support and condemned the cleric. Soon, the students of the seminary emerged and both groups started exchanging hot words.
A heavy contingent of police and elite force reached the venue, followed by Rangers troops.
“We will not leave the venue until we register our protest. We will not let Islamabad taken hostage by students of orthodox religious seminaries,” Jibran said, undeterred.
**“Lal Masjid should openly condemn Taliban otherwise the government should take action against it,” he demanded.
