The Western Region Political Convergence Council, in response to the ISIS attack on a Shia Mosque in Herat province, warned that Afghanistan is facing a situation similar to Pakistan.
The organisation condemned the attack on the Imam Zaman Mosque in the Mohammadi town of Guzara district in Herat, stating, "Different ethnicities and religions have always coexisted peacefully in Afghanistan."
Expressing concern over these attacks, the Western Region Political Convergence Council has said in a statement that Afghanistan should not fall into sectarian conflict like Pakistan.
The council said, "The rulers, who claim to provide security, should be most concerned about the security of ethnic and religious minorities. Otherwise, Afghanistan may face similar sectarian conflicts like Pakistan due to continued attacks."
On Monday, in an armed attack claimed by ISIS, six worshippers had been killed in the Imam Zaman Mosque. Among the victims were a child and a woman.
