KARACHI (Dunya News) – Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah on Sunday expressed remorse over the dumping of the remains of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar shrine blast victims into heap of garbage in Sehwan Sharif.

He expressed his views while talking to media after arriving at Lal Shahbaz Qalandar shrine.

The shocking move of local administration was revealed on Saturday and has sparked grief and anger among the natives who denounced the act and said that the parts should be buried instead of dumping in the litter.

Sindh CM acknowledged the lack of police contingent and facility of hospitals in Sehwan Sharif.

He became emotional while recalling the tragic Sehwan incident and said that the whole is going through immense pain.

He asserted that those who are spreading provocation are the companions of terrorists.

On February 16, at least 88 people were martyred and over 250 others were wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the crowded shrine of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan Sharif.

The high death toll at the shrine makes it one of the worst attacks in Pakistan in recent years.
