In a resolute stance against terrorism, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif extended his condolences to the Sultanate of Oman following the heinous attack on an Imambargah in Muscat. The attack, which occurred recently, resulted in the tragic loss of six lives and left over 30 individuals wounded.
Prime Minister Sharif unequivocally condemned the act of violence, expressing solidarity with Oman in its efforts to combat terrorism. He underscored the importance of international cooperation in eradicating such extremist activities that threaten peace and stability in the region.
The Imambargah, a place of worship for Shia Muslims, was targeted during a religious gathering, shocking the community and prompting widespread condemnation from leaders across the globe. The attack has heightened concerns over security measures and the safety of religious minorities in Oman.
Oman, known for its relative stability in the Gulf region, has been praised for its efforts in maintaining interfaith harmony and safeguarding religious freedoms. The assault on the Imambargah represents a stark departure from Oman’s peaceful reputation and has sparked a wave of solidarity and support from neighbouring countries and the international community.
In response to the Prime Minister’s Statement, Omani officials expressed gratitude for the condolences and offered assurance that all necessary measures were being taken to ensure the safety of its citizens and residents. The incident remains under investigation, with authorities intensifying efforts to apprehend those responsible for the attack.
