Ghazi's shrine remains closed despite Shah’s orders

KARACHI: Despite clear instructions given by Sindh's Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, Abdullah Shah Ghazi's shrine remains closed to devotees and pilgrims on Friday.

The shrine was closed to visitors after two suicide attacks left at least nine people dead Thursday night. 

Speaking to newsmen outside the shrine the previous night, Shah announced that the shrine would open on Friday morning. 

On the other hand Home Minister Zulfiqar Ali Mirza, ignoring Shah’s announcement, maintained that the shrine would not be opened till the issuance of security clearance.
