QUETTA, April 17: Leader of Shia Ulema Council Pakistan Balochistan chapter Allama Ghulam Mehdi Najafi while strongly condemning suicide blast at Civil Hospital Quetta has said that if government was unable to ensure safety of people than it should step down.

Addressing a press conference, here on Saturday flanked by other religious leaders demanded for immediate probe into the suicide blast through a high level committee that had claimed life of a journalist and several other innocent people.

He said that people had highly appreciated the suo moto notice against incidents of target killings by Chief Justice of Balochistan High Court. “We hope that perpetrators of deadly suicide blast would be arrested and they would be brought to justice”, he added.

Ghulam Mehdi Najafi alleged that Quetta was confronted with a grave situation due to terrorist acts while government had failed to curb the incidents of terrorism. “It is the responsibility of government to provide protection to its people, otherwise it has no justification to remain in power” Najafi remarked.

He refuted the statement of Chief Minister that protesters had tried to ransack hospital and others parts of the city and said that it was a baseless statement which would further encourage anti- social elements. He also regretted that no government official had visited hospital after the suicide blast.

He demanded of the Chief Justice of Balochistan High Court for taking suo moto notice against the deadly suicide blast at Civil Hospital Quetta.
