ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: No power on earth will be allowed to create obstacles in way of Milad-un-Nabi and Azadari and Sunni-Shia brethren will protect the Milad-un-Nabi and Azadari processions jointly, and continuously ignoring the Shias in State affairs who presented sacrifices in creation of Pakistan, is a source of concern. Awarding the opponents of creation of Pakistan is tantamount to empty State’s roots while contacts of rulers and politicians with terrorists is the biggest hurdle in rooting out terrorism which is only possible if “Moosavi Peace Formula” presented in the court of Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah is implemented in letter and spirit.

These views were expressed in the Declaration announced at the conclusion of two-day Azadari Convention organized at Imambargah Qasr-e-Imam Musa Kazim, I-10 Islamabad under the auspices of Bawa Sagheer Hussain Shah Kazmi. Thousands of delegates from all over the country participated in the Convention.

Allama Nasim Abbas Rizvi, Patron-in-Chief of Tehreek Tahaffuz Wila-o-Aza and Azmat-e-Sadaat while presenting resolutions said, enemies of Islam consider Pakistan the biggest hurdle in way of their designs. He said Pakistan came into being through joint sacrifices of Sunni and Shia brethren that is why both these Makatib are also being continuously targeted along with Pakistan. On one side every inch of the country was being wounded through terrorism while defenders of Pakistan ideology were being weakened by depriving the Sunni and Shia brethren from giving representation of all State and religious institutions on the other. He lamented that those who are declared terrorists by the Federal and Provincial governments are used by them for achieving their objectives that is tantamount to treachery with the country and the nation.

Allama Nasim Abbas while strongly condemning the policies of the Jang Group said that Jang and Nawa-i-Waqt are the oldest publications of Pakistan but unfortunately Jang always given preference only to those elements who had played no part in creation of Pakistan by posing them as champions of the nation. Efforts have been made to impose a particular thinking on the nation that has disturbed the peaceful Sunni-Shia ranks. He said Jang ignored the country-wide Chehlum congregation at Karbala Gamey Shah organized by Tehreek Tahaffuz Wila-o-Aza and only Jang Lahore covered this event giving a few lines. He said most important programmes of Fiqh-e-Jafariya are ignored while those who promote violence and extremism find place on front page that encourages terrorists. He demanded from the media organisations e.g. APNS and CPNE to take notice of the biased character of Jang and we are ready to present all record about this character of Jang at any forum. He said Jang’s friendship with India also poses a question mark as promoting friendship with India sans solution of Kashmir issue is tantamount to cover up the Kashmir issue and treachery with Pakistan. He said if Jang Group did not change its attitude then we reserve the right to lay down our line of action.

Another resolution said that terrorism that began in Zia’s era was going sky high, incidents of target killings are ripe in Balochistan and Peshawar while Karachi is given bloodbath whenever the terrorists so desire. The resolution lamented that culprits of Karbala Gamey Shah and Quetta incidents could not be apprehended to-date despite passage of almost two months that speaks of government’s inability to do so. If the rulers could not provide protection to the people then they should step down from power. The resolution expressed astonishment that Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry takes suo moto notice of incidents of minor nature but he does not know about terrorism. If Justice Sajjad Ali Shah could take suo moto notice on terrorism that why not Iftikhar Chaudhry could do so, the resolution asked. Another resolution expressed concern over tug-of-war going on amongst the government, opposition, media and judiciary and made it clear that the enemy could reap the benefit of this situation. The resolution demanded of the government to implement the Moosavi Peace Formula so as to root out terrorism from Karachi, Parachinar, Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa, Quetta, Balochistan, Punjab, Gilgit-Baltistan and elsewhere, implement the Anti-Terrorism law strictly, give compensation to the affected families of terrorism, culprits responsible for all incidents of terrorism including those of Karbala Gamey Shah, Data Darbar, Shah Abdullah Ghazi, and banned groups should be stopped from working with new names.

Another resolution stressed the need of strengthening Mukhtar Force for the protection of Milad-un-Nabi and Azadari processions. Yet another resolution expressed solidarity with Pakistan’s armed forces for helping the flood affected besides fulfilling her duty to defend the motherland and putting strong resistance against terrorism. The resolution demanded to utilize all available resources for restoring the flood affected as soon as possible. The resolution strongly condemned violation of Pakistan’s frontiers by Nato and American forces and Drone attacks. Another resolution strongly condemned the organized movement against Milad-un-Nabi and Azadari processions by some quarters and made it clear that if giving strike calls and taking out protest rallies is legal then why such elements are averse of memories of Islam’s diehard personalities. The participants adopted all resolutions unanimously by raising vociferous slogans.

He fully supported the announcement of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi to protect Milad-un-Nabi and Azadari processions.
