It Can be viewed in connection of "Fathwa " a decree issued by Muslim religious leaders in Friday prayers since Oct, 7 in mosques throughout pakistan " of killing two Christians on one death of Muslim " in Afghanistan by the attacks of allied forces, massacre of christian is identical to incidents of Muslim sectarian violence and killing in mosques from years and government agencies have investigating record and elements involved in them and delay to arrest the killers of christian worshipers fears to lead further attacks on Christians in pakistan. Mr. Bhatti said that we have appealed to government of pakistan to take notice of JUI and SSP leaders "Fathwas" and to adopt necessary measures to security of life and property of Christians in pakistan but due security was not provided in light of Muslim religious parties strong retaliation on Afghanistan attacks. He said the incident of Bahawalpur is an indication that Muslim radical groups plan to launch civil war in Pakistan and they have selected the upper Punjab division of Bahawalpur where they gunned down the ex federal minister and elected nazim in local body election few months back.
