Islamabad: The twin suicide bombings Sunday at a church in Peshawar which claimed 81 lives and injured more than 100 have sparked strong protests across Pakistan.

Members of the Christian community took to the streets demanding stern action against the perpetrators of the deadly act and urged the government to provide protection to the country’s christian population, the Dawn newspaper reported Monday.

The city of Peshawar witnessed large-scale protests, some of which turned violent. The Christian community also held demonstrations in parts of Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Hyderabad and Quetta, the report said.

Enraged protesters in Peshawar placed the bodies of the blast victims on roads.

Police vehicles were also torched by the angry mob forcing the security personnel to use teargas.

The relatives of the victims also protested outside the city’s Lady Reading Hospital, where the injured were taken Sunday, breaking windowpanes of the hospital. (IANS)
