The Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) has announced 10-day mourning across the country and observed shutter down strike in Quetta, with protest demonstrations of Shia community in different cities.
The MQM also announced day of mourning while the Sindh Chief Minister announced state mourning in the province to express solidarity with the blast victims.
