Attacks on Shia Muslims in Pakistan have rapidly increased in the past few years. In 2015 alone, more than 80 people from Shia communities have lost their lives across the country. The alarming figures have prompted Shia organizations to stage protests against the government's anti-terror policies. As our correspondent Hamza Ameer reports, the protesters accuse Islamabad of supporting militants on many occasions.
