Karachi, Feb 20 (IBNS) Days after terror attacks on imambargahs in different cities of Pakistan disrupted peace in the country, citizens were seen forming a human chain around Imambargah Shah-i-Najaf in Karachi in a bid to send a strong message of unity, media reports said.

"The human chain was formed on the call of the Pakistan Youth Alliance (PYA). The organisation was formed in 2007 and comprises a network of youth activists who believe in a politically progressive, religiously harmonious and economically just Pakistan," Dawn News reported.

"The worst you can do is come and kill us and still we are standing here unarmed, belonging to various religions and sects, to show unity and solidarity with our Shia brothers and sisters, and if it requires sacrificing our lives we are ready for the same," one of the participants, Jibran Nasir told Dawn News.

He also tweeted: "Citizens made a human chain around Imambargah Shah-e-Najaf today to send a msg of unity."
