LUBP: Lord Eric started the session with a brief talk on Hazara and Shia Genocide which is now available at Liberal Democract blog LibDemVoice. He recognized that the Shia community in Pakistan (including but not limited to the Hazara Shias) face a genocide and have been target of endless violence. He also criticised the role of some political parties in Pakistan who were striking an electoral pact with the militant outfits to contest the forthcoming general election. He warned that such electoral alliances will almost certainly have MPs in the next Parliament belonging to those parties who spread hatred and finance to meet their goals. Lord Avebury expressed concern that extremist mindset has infected the mainstream Barelvi sect and the hate mongers are destroying the national fabric of the country. –
