Meanwhile, Jamat-e-Islami (JI) chief Siraj Ul Haq visited the seminary and met Sheikh Rahimuddun Haqqani. He offered his condolences and said that October 27th is the blackest day in the history of Islamic Republic of Pakistan as an Islamic centre was targeted by terrorists . He added that the Intelligence agencies issued a threat alert, but the government ignored that which consequently resulted in the horrific incident.
He also criticised government representatives for "not even bothering to offer condolences”. The JI chief said that the incident was not different from the Army Public School attack in which more than 140 children were killed.
“How do they succeed in attacking people’s homes despite the presence of intelligence agencies and security," he asked.
