      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330452115/funeral-prayers-held-for-islamabad-suicide-attack-victims</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The funeral prayers for the victims of the suicide attack in Islamabad were offered at Imam Bargah Khadijat-ul-Kubra and Imam Bargah Jamia Sadiq (G-9) on Saturday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The funeral prayers of 11 victims were offered at Khadijat-ul-Kubra mosque, while prayers for three victims were held at  Imam Bargah Jamia Sadiq.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A large number of federal ministers, senior religious scholars from various sects, political leaders, and citizens attended the prayers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In total, funeral prayers for 43 martyrs were offered in absentia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the bodies were brought for the funeral prayers, the atmosphere turned sombre, with mourners visibly emotional, sobbing and expressing grief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At Khadijat-ul-Kubra mosque, the funeral prayer was led by Allama Hussain Muqaddasi, head of Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Strict security measures were in place, with police and law enforcement agencies fully alert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, at Imam Bargah Jamia Sadiq in G-9, the prayer was led by Agha Sheikh Muhammad Shifa Najafi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Political leaders, Islamabad’s Inspector General of Police, religious figures, and large numbers of citizens attended the prayers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Strict security arrangements were made on the occasion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Participants strongly condemned the attack, prayed for the elevation of the martyrs’ ranks, and sought patience for the bereaved families.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They also demanded that those responsible for the terrorist act be brought to justice as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
