The much-loved shrine, located in Sehwan Sharif, attracts up to one million visitors annually. To commemorate the date of the blast, Tehreek-e-Niswan organised on Saturday a dialogue session for more than 400 civil society representatives from different parts of Pakistan, followed by a dhamaal performance by classical dancer and activist Sheema Kermani. “Shrines such as Lal Shahbaz Qalandar’s are actually a secular place in spite of it being predominately Muslim. Bloodbath at Sehwan shrine“This is the main reason why we are here today and want to keep coming,” he said.
