Spiritual head of the famous Ajmer Dargah Zainul Abedin Ali Khan today condemned the suicide bombing at a Sufi shrine in Sindh province of Pakistan that claimed 80 lives and left 250 injured, as he asked the country to act against terrorists on its soil.

"The attack is not only on Pakistani Sufis but on the entire Sufis and the Sufi ideology of the world. It is the result of the conspiracy to suppress the ideology which promotes harmony and gives the message of humanity," Khan said in a statement.

He said that the terror outfits supported by Pakistan are responsible for the attack and it is high time for country to take stern action against the terror outfits on its soil.
 

Khan also appealed the Pakistan government to ensure security of all the Sufi shrines and Sufis.

The blast at the popular shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in the southern province yesterday was one of the deadliest in Pakistan in years.
