Dear Shazia,
Thank you for taking the initiative...
Since last night we are all in a state of shock, grief and anguish that a Sufi saint like Laal Shahbaz Qalandar - who preached and practised only peace and love for all - could be so brutally targeted and attacked - with such a huge loss of life and injuries....
We need to ask the Int.Min: "SO THERE IS NO TRACE OF DAAISH IN PAKISTAN - RIGHT???"
Re. planning Isbd demo/vigil, etc. - I must inform you that the ICT Admin. is not permitting any gatherings for the time being at public places in ICT, due to a very credible security threat, specifically targeting ICT.
The only designated location for demos/rallies - i.e. after obtaining permission/NOC - is the new parade ground near the Pakistan Monument at Shakarparrian.
That is probably very inconvenient - esp. as there is no public transport available to & from the ground.
However, nothing stops us from drafting a statement articulating our feelings, views and demands re. sins of commission and omission by Govt and State institutions - and also raising this issue at all our meetings, seminars, conferences, book launches, melas, LitFests, training sessions, field visits, research work, etc. etc.
In sympathy and solidarity,
Tahira Abdullah

Subject: Protest/ demonstartion againt increased brutal terrorist attacks
Dear all, I am writing in extreme grief and anguish. How IHI and all human rights networks should respond and raise our voices to condemn these massive brutal attacks on shrines and other public spaces. Continuous security alerts and threats of motivated targeted attacks are causing severe unrest and uncertainty amongst citizens across Pakistan. Can we plan any protest together? What should we do keeping in mind the security situation?
Distressed
