An atmosphere of deep grief and anger prevailed during the funeral prayers and every eye was filled with tears. After the prayers, when the bodies of the martyrs were being dispatched to their native areas, thousands of people showered flowers on the ambulances and containers along the route and chanted strong slogans.
It is worth mentioning that last night, after successful negotiations between the sit-in committee and the government negotiation team, the end of the Quetta sit-in was announced, after which the collective funeral prayers of all the martyrs were offered at Ayub Stadium.
