    The rallies follow a raft of blasphemy accusations against Shiite leaders in Sunni-majority Pakistan after a broadcast of an Ashura procession last month showed clerics and participants allegedly making disparaging remarks about historic Islamic figures. Image Credit: AFP

    The rally was organised by the Sunni organisation Jamaat Ahle Sunnat and by the hardline Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), which has organised huge and often violent protests over alleged blasphemy in the past. Image Credit: AFP

    "If you play with the religious sentiments of the Sunni, we will not tolerate it," Karachi TLP chief Allama Abid Mubara told the rally. Sunni people could ultimately "get their heads cut off, but can also behead other people," he added. Image Credit: AFP

    But Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, who was the event's main speaker, insisted the rally aimed to "promote peace." "Our movement is not against any sectarian group, our movement is against those individuals who desecrate our revered personalities," he said. Image Credit: AFP
