New delhi date. Thursday, August 6, 2020

A grenade attack on a radical Islamic Party rally in Karachi, Pakistan, on Wednesday injured at least 30 people. The rally was held in Kashmir against the repeal of Article 370. Yesterday, August 5, was the first anniversary of the repeal of Article 370 and a rally was held in Karachi to protest against it.

People injured in the grenade attack were admitted to various hospitals and the condition of one of them is very serious. The condition of the injured was disclosed by the health officer of Karachi. Karachi police chief Ghulam Nabi Mann said several people were injured in the grenade attack on the rally. An organization called Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) has claimed responsibility for the attack. This is a separatist organization and it has been very active for the last few months.

There were also three explosions in the area in June which were claimed by SRA. Four people were killed in the attack, including two soldiers. The group is seeking to separate Sindh province from Karachi. Karachi is the capital of that province. The Sindh Revolutionary Army has also announced its alliance with the Balochistan Liberation Army. The Balochistan Liberation Army is an extremist organization that seeks the independence of the Balochistan region in southwestern Pakistan.

The grenade attack came at a time when rallies were being held across Kashmir over Pakistan. The Karachi rally was organized by Jamaat-e-Islami and the rally was stopped after the attack. Last year, the Indian government revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. At that time, the government repealed Article 370 and declared Jammu and Kashmir a Union Territory.
