RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said it is necessary to follow the path of Hussainiyat so as to stop the satanic forces from desecrating the Holy Quran, insulting Prophethood and Islam and to get rid of the menace of terrorism and colonial powers. This was stated by him while talking to the section commanders and jawans of Mukhtar Force who called on him at the head of Tehsil Talagang’s coordinator Haji Abid Hussain Haideri, tehsil commander Malik Tafazzul Burki, and Malik Fazal Illahi, here at the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo.

Aqae Moosavi reminded that there is a saying of the Imam Aali Muqam Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) that “life is the name of belief and struggle that is dearer than anything and one can sacrifice his and the life of nearest and dearest but no bargaining can be done on belief”. He said motherland Pakistan came into being through the thoughts of Iqbal and untiring efforts of the Quaid-i-Azam and Sunni-Shia followers of the recognised schools of thought offered sacrifices jointly in its creation.

Agha Moosavi lamented that soon after the demise of Quaid-i-Azam, the country went into the hands of tyrant rulers and dictators who looted it with both hands. He said when a dictator staged a coup to topple the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and announced to make the country a state of a particular school of thought, the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya thwarted their designs by taking over the Islamabad Secretariat making it clear that the country belongs to all schools of thought and turning it to a Maktabi State would not be allowed as it would be a negation of the Pakistan Constitution, Article 2 which states that the official religion of the State is Islam and not any sect.

Aqae Moosavi said the TNFJ leadership was handed over to him on February 10, 1984 and on that occasion he had resolved in the All Pakistan Shia Convention, held at Assadabad, Dina, that whether the nation supports him like companions of Hussain (A.S.) or leaves him like companions of Muslim (A.S.), he would not budge even an inch from the pious targets of Wila and Aza and national rights and would neither bargain nor allow anyone to bargain on these goals. He said that as a result of successful agitation launched from the Hussaini Mohaz during Zia’s martial law era, Junejo-Moosavi agreement came into being on May 21, 1985 that guarantees Milad-un-Nabi and Azadari processions and rights of the Maktab-e-Tashih. This agreement still remains in the records of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Agha Moosavi said that in 1986, 26 mosques and Imambargahs were set alight in Lahore after Shaam-e-Ghariban on the day of Ashoora-e-Muharram but despite desecration of these places of worship no Muslim or Momin was injured. He said after the incidents, following a visit to these places of worship in Lahore, he summoned a full-fledged representative meeting and decided to establish Mukhtar Force to voluntarily cooperate with the security agencies and for self-defence. He said the job of the Mukhtar Force is to provide security to places of worship and Sha’air Allah without any discrimination on the basis of religion and Maktab which is a need of the hour. He called upon the Jawans to fulfil their duties with sincerity of purpose imbibed with the spirit of Mukhtar Aal-e-Muhammad. He said Pakistan is also included in Sha’air Allah and protecting every inch of it is their national and faithful duty.

The TNFJ chief, terming terrorism a gift of Zia’s tyranny, said the TNFJ has the honour of presenting the 850-page Moosavi Peace Formula in the Supreme Court after the former Chief Justice Syed Sajjad Ali Shah had taken suo moto notice of terrorism. The former government banned the extremist terrorist groups twice keeping that formula in sight. He said they protected the national trust with sincerity of purpose and through their character saved the whole Maktab from the label of terrorism proving that the religion of Islam or any recognised school of thought is not terrorist rather some particular groups are involved in extremism and terrorism who are bent upon putting the honour of the nation and the country at stake just to digest the financial aid they receive from their foreign masters. He said stopping the banned groups from working with new names and to avoid sitting them to their right and left is binding on both the government and the opposition.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah said that terrorism began after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the first targets of this terrorism in Pakistan were Allama Ehsan Illahi Zaheer and Allama Syed Muhammad Jafar Zaidi. Now, the chain has extended to blasts, suicide attacks and target killings in which uncountable ulema, zakireen, intelligentsia and renowned personalities belonging to different sections of society, armed forces institutions, rulers, politicians and common citizens were targeted. He said Wila and Aza is our main goal and this pious mission is on the rise day in and day out. He called upon the Mukhtar Force jawans and TNFJ workers to give priority to Gham-e-Hussain over all their grief, as it is the source of survival for us all.

Agha Moosavi said that we are fulfilling the responsibility of keeping the Identity of Millat e Jafariya and in this way worldly poverty has been voluntarily accepted; we are not wealthy but keep dear the family of the Holy Prophet (pbut). He said that followers of Ghareeb ul Ghurba Imam e Raza (pbuh) fulfil their responsibility while relying on their personal resources.

Paying homage to the first office secretary of the Mukhtar Force Prof. Atta Muhammad Haideri (late) and lauding the performance of Malik Fazal Illahi of Talagang and his companions, he called upon all Jawans to keep the message of brotherhood and love of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya in mind and perform their duties for the protection of Sha’air Allah following the positive policy given to them. He made it clear that Kalma-e-Tauheed is the foundation of motherland Pakistan and Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) is the foundation of “La Illaha Illallah”.

The commanders and jawans of the Mukhtar Force Talagang reiterated their resolve to follow the commands of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi in the light of teachings of Mukhtar Aal-e-Muhammad and would not hesitate in offering any sacrifice in protecting the Sha’air Allah. TNFJ Rawalpindi Additional Secretary Abbas Jafri, Joint Secretary Syed Abid Ali Bokhari, Mukhtar Force senior commanders Syed Mohsin Abbas Zaidi, Syed Imran Naqvi, and Zeeshan Haider were also present on the occasion.
