The Iranian Consulate General in Karachi has strongly condemned the recent deadly bomb attack which killed over 45 in a Shia neighborhood in Pakistan’s financial capital.
In a statement on Monday, the Consulate General stated that the “horrible terrorist” attack on March 3 was “an effort aimed at sowing discord in the Muslim community of Pakistan and an action against Muslims and the entire humanity.”
It added that the perpetrators of this violent attack must stand justice.
“This Consulate expects the Pakistani government to firmly deal with [the issue] by identifying and punishing the perpetrators of this anti-humane act,” the statement noted.
Iran Consulate General also sympathized with the families of the victims of the bomb attack.
In recent months, Pakistani people have been protesting in the streets against a rise in Shia killings.
Shias make up about 20 percent of Pakistan’s population of over 180 million.
