RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the government was following the policy of giving lip-service instead of taking practical steps to root out the menace of terrorism. If it is sincere with the nation and the country then it should take concrete steps on war footing to share the grief of the families affected by terrorism.

This was stated by him while talking to a representative delegation comprising TNFJ Sarhad leaders Maj. (Retd) Hasnain Haider Kazmi, Sardar Ali Asghar Qazilbash, Mir Abu Ghazanfar, S.A. Kazmi, and Sardar Ali Afzaal.

He expressed his grave concern that the whole country in general, and Sarhad Province in particular, are in the grip of terrorism. He said no progress has been reported in the case of gory murder of Dr. Saqlain Haider Kazmi and Muhammad Abbas Advocate in Peshawar despite the arrest of culprits. He reminded that the TNFJ, on the occasion of funeral of these Shuhada had appealed the Peshawar High Court Chief Justice to take suo moto notice of all such incidents but no development has been seen yet in this case.

Agha Moosavi said that there is an open conflict in the words and deeds of the government and rulers and politicians were busy to save themselves and score points against their opponents. He said international agenda is being progressed by promoting terrorism in Pakistan under the heinous international conspiracy and all schools of thought would have to thwart this conspiracy through practical display of unity and brotherhood without any discrimination. He said everyone should keep in mind that death could not be avoided by leaving the pious mission rather life is extended by disseminating good. He said there is a saying of the Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that death itself protects life, therefore, it could not come before the set-out time. No one is aware what would happen tomorrow, therefore, no one should shirk his responsibilities, he added.

The TNFJ chief said that we have to do everything for the pleasure of Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.). He said the followers of Nabi (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.) are not afraid of death and they continue their mission come what may. Terrorism, suicide attacks and blasts could not divert us from the path of Hussainiyyat, he said and added that we have filed the Bari Imam Incident case in the court of Hazrat Zehra (S.A.). He said we are continuing our mission despite threats because if the oppressors could continue their work then the oppressed will have to continue their mission come what may because the powers of good and evil remained side by side in every era; we would continue raising our voice for the oppressed and no power on earth could stop us from doing so.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya had presented Moosavi Peace Formula in Supreme Court when former Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah had taken suo moto notice of terrorism. He said Anti-Terrorism Act was enforced keeping in mind that formula, and the government had banned 26 extremist organizations twice but now the same banned groups were active with new names and they are being supported both by the government and the opposition. He said dream to restore durable peace in the country could not come true without taking lawful action against the banned groups with sincerity of purpose. He said Hussainiyyat could not be rooted out even we all are murdered and this mission would continue unabated.

He said we give priority to the nation, country, unity and brotherhood over all other matters; that is why we have announced to observe Country-Wide Chehlum of Shuhada on March 19 who have lost their life in incidents of terrorism without any discrimination. We share the grief of the bereaved families of Shuhada. Strongly condemning the target killing of four MQM workers in Karachi on Wednesday he said we would have to work for the collective interest of the nation and the country by giving up all types of differences. We have to promote love and peace and to thwart the conspiracies of our combined enemy through unity and brotherhood, he added.
