The Gokul Chat Bandar was shut down in remembrance of those killed in the twin blasts. Syed Raheem, who lost an eye in the blast and has since been suffering from different health ailments, along with a few others paid tribute to those who lost their lives.

He demanded that the government immediately hang all those found guilty by the court and not to keep them in high security prisons. “Keeping the perpetrators alive means denying justice to the families of the victims.
