TEHRAN, November 4 - Countrywide protest has been observed on Friday in Pakistan against the kidnapping of Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) deputy secretary general Syed Nasir Abbas Shirazi.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Protests were held in Islamabad, Lahore, Kashmir, Skardu, Multan and other cities of the country in which the protesters demanded immediate action for the immediate release of the kidnapped leader.

MWM chief Allama Raja Nasir Abbas Jafari addressing the protesters in Lahore said the enforced disappearance of patriotic political worker Nasir Shirazi has put a question mark on the credibility of Punjab government and security agencies.

“We shall besiege Punjab House if Nasir Shirazi is not released forthwith,” he warned.

MWM chief lambasted Punjab government saying that it had resorted to negative tactics to victimize the political opponents.

According to reports armed men in plainclothes kidnapped Syed Nasir Abbas Shirazi, in Lahore on Wednesday night.

He was accompanied by his family members when a double cabin vehicle stormed into the Wapda Town commercial area.

They first blocked their way and the cops whisked him away to their vehicle and left the scene.

The MWM chief accused Punjab government of abducting Nasir Shirazi and condemned his undeclared and illegal custody.
