Raja Nasser Abbas Jafari was assassinated in an attack launched by armed terrorists on a motorcycle, Iraq-al-noon website reported.
The prominent Shia scholar was severely wounded in the attack and died later in a Lahore hospital.
Following the martyrdom of Jafari, Pakistan’s Muslim Unity Council announced three days of mourning and called on security officials to identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of the terrorist attack.
Didar Ali Julbani, a deputy of the council, had been killed along with his bodyguard in a terrorist attack in Karachi earlier.
Takfiri organizations that are supported from abroad and are very active in Pakistan are behind these attacks against Shia figures in the country.
