As many as 20 people lost their lives and another 55 were injured in a fresh wave of sectarian violence across Gilgit-Baltistan, which erupted after clashes between Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) and Police in which five persons were killed in Gilgit city on April 3, reports Daily Times.

The Federal Minister of Interior Rehman Malik on April 10 urged parliament to adopt an amendment in anti-terror law to remove loopholes for closing door to terrorist' bailout, reports Daily Times. Addressing a joint parliamentary sitting on killings of people from the Shia community, the Minister said parliament needed to pass an amendment in the Pakistan Penal Code as currently no law existed to bring terrorists to justice. He said the criminals were easily bailed out after being apprehended by the law enforcement agencies, adding that in an instance, a man was bailed out 34 times. He said, "Let me brief the House as how foreign powers are involved in marring law and order situation of the country and how they are creating hostility." Malik termed Chilas tragedy as an “incident of terrorism, not sectarianism”. Malik said his remarks on witnessing Gilgit-based people in Quetta and Karachi proved true after the Kohistan incident in which 18 passengers from the Shia community were killed.

Mohammad Amin Shahidi, Deputy General Secretary of Wahdatul Muslimeen, a Shia organisation, informed the committee that more than 650 Shias in Quetta and 450 in Dera Ismail Khan were targeted and killed recently. He claimed that not a single person was arrested for the killings, adding that few people who were arrested in the aforementioned cases were released on bail. Shahidi said such incidents of lawlessness, hardships in getting justice created frustration among the Shia community, adding that the country’s law and order situation would further deteriorate if the desperate Shias took up arms. The NAHRC was also told that some ‘hidden forces’ were responsible for the killings of Shias in different parts of the country. The committee members agreed that there was no sectarian clash between the Shias and the Sunnis, observing that clerics of both sides agreed to restore peace in Gilgit-Baltistan, Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Quetta (Balochistan). However, the committee said the law enforcement agencies, Police and intelligence agencies had completely failed to control such incidents and identify the culprits.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on November 22 condemned the killing of about 25 innocent citizens on the grounds of their belief and called for serious efforts to subdue the monster of sectarianism. HRCP statement read, “No words are strong enough to condemn the November 21, 2012 killing spree in which around 25 innocent Pakistanis were slaughtered while performing belief-related rituals. Quite obviously the targeting of the Shia citizens has reached a new high this year and many quarters apprehend more bloodshed on Ashura (10th Muharram). The virus of sectarianism that has been eating into the vitals of the Pakistan society can be exorcised neither by politicians’ hackneyed rhetoric nor by the antics of ineffective Law Enforcement Agencies. Everybody knows who the Shia-baiters are and what new theories to justify murder on account of religious or sectarian differences the latest crop of jihadis have spawned. Thus, while the administration must do all it can to deal with the crime part of the sectarian militants’ agenda, and prove that their actions can match their proclamations, the leaders of the various schools of religious thought must admit their failure to keep their followers under some discipline. They must seriously work towards reviving the indigenous traditions of tolerance, for they are as much responsible for making Pakistan unlivable as anyone else.”

A car bomb exploded on December 30 near a convoy of buses taking Shia pilgrims to Iran, killing 20 persons and injuring 25, on the RCD Highway in the Dringer area in Mastung District of Balochistan, reports Daily Times. Police said that the blast occurred as the three buses were overtaking a car, site of many sectarian attacks, near the Iranian border. Balochistan Home Secretary, Akbar Durrani said that remote-controlled explosive was used to target the buses. Talking to the media, he denied reports that a suicide bomber attacked the buses. Jaish-e-ul-Islam claimed the responsibility for the Mastung bombing. A Jaish-e-ul-Islam spokesperson, Ghazi Haq Nawaz, said that the attack on pilgrim buses by the “Mujahideen” was in response to an attack on Sunni clerics in Quetta and Karachi. Nawaz asked the Mastung Administration not to help Shias “otherwise it would be their next target”. He also warned CD shop owners in Quetta to destroy all those CDs which contain blasphemous material.
