RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said to follow the pious teachings of great personality of Khanwada-e-Ahle Bait, Hazrat Imam Ali Raza (A.S.) is the need of the hour to root out all problems, difficulties, and terrorism from the world.

Agha Moosavi said that the dictators and oppressors in every era considered the Khasan-e-Khuda a hurdle in their designs and they utilized all their energy in diverting them from the right path. He said Hazrat Imam Raza (A.S.) was also kept in gaol but he, through his character and deeds, proved that we cannot be threatened through gaol, murder and arson because being murdered is our habit and kissing martyrdom (Shahadat) is a blessing for us. He spelled out three golden principles of the Masoom (A.S.) that go: (1) having deep knowledge about the religion and Shariat; (2) adoption of best strategy in life; and (3) exercising patience and forbearance in difficulties, problems, and grief.

He expressed grave concern over no progress from the government side in connection with the Ashoora incident in Karachi and has appealed the Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to take suo moto action of the Ashoora incident, set up an impartial Enquiry Board, unveil the conspiracy behind that incident, give exemplary punishment to the culprits, and release the innocent people arrested after the incident, to keep the honour and dignity of Pakistan and protection of its people intact.

This was stated by him in a special message issued on the occasion of Youm-e-Shahadat Imam Zamin Hazrat Ali Bin Musa Ar-Raza (A.S.) that is being observed as a part of Hafta Aseeran-e-Karbala from Tuesday with religious spirit, devotion and respect.

He lamented that despite passage of more than a month to Ashoora incident in Karachi, neither any Enquiry Board was set up nor any compensation was paid, government promises are not being fulfilled and time is being passed in accusing each other. He called upon the government to avoid spreading fear and harassment on the basis of information about suicide attackers in the country.

Agha Moosavi made it clear that we cannot be diverted from the mission of Hussainiyyat through coward tactics and through threats because we are born on this soil and brought up like brave sons of this soil. He said the history stands witness that we always uttered Kalma-e-Haq under the swords and on the point of the spear.

He reiterated his resolve to defend the Nazria-e-Asaasi and Pakistan at every cost and would thwart every conspiracy aimed at shattering the unity of the people through mutual brotherhood and understanding. He demanded from the government to take notice of the banned groups that have become active with new names and are following new agendas with the connivance of some government circles. If the noose against these banned groups was not tightened then we would be forced to understand that all this is being done at the behest of the rulers so as to divert the attention from real issues and to save their rule and leadership, he added.

The TNFJ chief advised the people to remain satisfied and alert and carry on holding Majalis-e-Aza and taking out Azadari processions without any fear or danger by following the Code of Azadari in letter and spirit.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi presenting ‘pursa’ on the Shahadat of Imam Ali Raza (A.S.) reiterated his resolve to continue his practical struggle for the mission of Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.).
