The man who became an unexpected martyr: Ahmadi Muslim from Abbasi Town

The NEWS: Karachi: A poster outside his home in Abbas Town reads: “Mubashir Ahmad Abbasi Shaheed”.

His family does not know how it got there.

The white chart paper also has an arrow – drawn using colourful markers – pointing towards his house.

Forty-three-year-old Mubashir is one of the victims of the bomb blast in Abbas Town March 3. He was not a Shia or Sunni. He was an Ahmadi – the only victim from the community.

A father of two, Mubashir left his home, which is some 10-minute walk away from the entrance of Abbas town where the bomb exploded.

The Abbas Town attack that killed at least 50 people and injured over a 100 has brought the neighbours close like never before – irrespective of their ethnic, religious or sectarian affiliations.

One organisation that may have played a role in bringing them together is the Jafaria Disaster Management Cell (JDC).
