| [ABNA.IR] Despite security threats and tense atmosphere after the recent sectarian killings in Rawalpindi, the Punjab government has withdrawn security provided to top leader of Majlis Wahdatul Moslemeen (MWM). Seven police guards, deputed on the security of MWM Secretary General Allama Nasir Abbas, have been called back by the Punjab home department. The MWM front man, Mehdi Shah, said apparently the move was aimed at pressurising his party to withdraw support to PAT's Inqlab March. "But if anything happens to Allama Nasir Abbas, the prime minister and the Punjab chief minister will be nominated in the FIR," he added. Rawalpindi has recently witnessed two sectarian killings, one of Mufti Amanullah of seminary Taleemul Koran who was rubbed out on Sunday, and the other of a person who died when a Shia mosque and some shops in old city, Rawalpindi were burnt in reaction. |
