The whole country is in the grip of bloodshed; In Karachi, people are being slain one after another without any pause, every home has become a place of mourning, every person is crying, horrified and afraid. The government and its alliances are constantly begging for peace but things are continuing to spiral out of control. Our arch-enemy is utilizing all its energies, is equipped with all kinds of ammunition and violating all the rules of ethics and human rights in order to crush Pakistan all together.  It was re-iterated in the resolution that it is the responsibility of the rulers, politicians, all classes and the inhabitants of the beloved motherland to avoid getting emotional and instead use their wits and intellect since the solution of our problem lies in tolerance and patience; which is the key to success.

While expressing kind sentiments to the bereaved of those martyred, prayers were made for the quick return to health of the wounded and it was demanded from the government that it must compensate those affected by terrorism as soon as possible. Criminals should be given exemplary punishments and strict action should be taken against declared banned groups; sanctions should be put on their activities with new identities and coverage in the media.

In the resolution it was pledged with full determination that under the visionary leadership of the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Moosavi we will always be ready to present any kind of sacrifice, including our lives, for the defense, integrity and solidarity of our beloved homeland, Pakistan.
