The Academy convened an emergency meeting at the Residence of Hazrat Maulana Musannah Miyan where the Ulemas condemned the blast and urged assistance to the people affected. Hazrat Maulana Musannah Miyan said that Islam did not sanction any type of terrorist activities and hence such incidents did not have any connection with Islam. Maulana Mohammed Saeed Noori of the Raza Academy called upon the government to announce compensation of Rs 500000/- for those killed while Rs 100000/ for those injured. He also demanded government jobs for the family members of the deceased.
