Shia leader and General Secretary of Muharram Committee Peshawar Muzaffar Ali Akhunzada, while condemning Daesh’s intimidations and ruthless treatment with prisoners in Dera Ismail Khan Jail, demanded the Core Commander to consider these serious issues. Muzaffar Ali Akhunzada also demanded to suspend the Jail superintendent in DI Khan. It should be kept in mind that recently, some Shia Muslims in Dera Ismail Kahn Jail were beaten in the presence of Jail administration and it was demanded that they announce their non-affiliation with Shia religion. Later on, they were forcefully made to wear festoons and it was announced in the jail that those two people had left Shia religion and had accepted the Sunni religion.
In second incident, Shia people residing in Bannu have received threatening letters from Daesh in which they have been warned to face serious repercussions if they carry out a procession during Muharram, this year. They have been asked, in letters, to renounce and abandon Shia religion and it has also been written that processions, if carried out, will be attacked with bombs. Shia Leaders, while reacting upon both incidents, demanded strong actions against those responsible. A delegation of Shia leaders, after reviewing the situation, will soon meet the Core Commander Peshawar and IG KPK.
On the other hand, orders have been issued to install security cameras, walk-through gates and other devices at Imambargahs that have been declared sensitive. Secretary of Muharram ul Haram Committee Muzaffar Ali Akhunzada said that management is unable to install security systems however, some so-called Shia-safety organizations have promised to provide the equipment and regarding this, campaign for collecting funds was also initiated outside the country but no security arrangements have so far been taken. He demanded that details of all projects should be updated on their websites in order to stop financial mismanagement in welfare associations.
