RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has demanded of the government to make strict security arrangements during Matmi processions and Majalis-e-Aza on the occasion of universal Arbaeen-e-Hussain (Chehlum of Shuhada-e-Karbala) and hand over the sensitive areas to the army. This was stated by him while delivering his presidential address at the high level meeting of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya at the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo. Strongly condemning the suicide attacks in Iraq and expressing grief on the Shahadat of Zaireen he reiterated his resolve that terrorism and suicide attacks could not divert the Azadars from the path of Hussainiyyat.

The performance report of Markazi Muharram Committee and other departments of the Tehreek were presented at the TNFJ meeting and decisions were taken on matters of national and international importance.

Agha Moosavi said the Aza-e-Hussain continue till 8th Rabiul Awwal with full enthusiasm. He made it clear that Arbaeen-e-Hussaini is also a great memory of Hussain’s (A.S.) sacrifice, therefore, the government should ensure security of processions to be taken out from every nook and corner of the country from 18-20 Safar on the pattern of Ashoora. In this connection, he said, Muharram Control Rooms should be put of high elert in the Federal Interior Ministry, all the four provinces, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan. He also called upon the Azadars to follow the Code of Azadari in letter and spirit and remain attached with the Markaz.

The TNFJ chief said that Azadari, a trust of Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.), is the eternal peaceful protest against oppression and brutality and it will continue till the Zahoor of Qaim Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.). He said the satanic forces remain involved in desecration of Quran, Rasool (SAAW), Ahle Bait (A.S.), pious Sahaba Kubaar and Mashaheer-e-Islam which is a great sin. He said punishment for blasphemy is death but it is necessary that the judiciary sets the limits and explanation of the blasphemy so that it could be checked strongly. He said merely forming a committee to stop the wrong use of blasphemy las was not enough because a committee is always formed on an issue that is meant to be put in abeyance. He said, the government was giving only lip-service to divert the attention from real issues and if she is sincere in doing so then it should contact the real representatives of the recognised schools of thought. He said at present the government and the opposition were busy in prolonging the rule and achieving the rule while sincerity of purpose was the need of the hour for solution of problems.

Agha Moosavi said that submissive attitude against the colonial powers is contrary to the national dignity and the nations that look towards others for help are degraded, therefore, the powers that be would have to rid themselves rid of satanic forces if we desire to put our country on the height of dignity. That does not mean that we should sever our relations with them rather these relations should be established on the basis of equality, he added. He said the colonial powers and their agents follow duplicity while dealing with the whole Islamic World including Pakistan. He lamented that when Muslims demand their right of self-determination from non-Muslim powers that are called extremists or they are given the lolly-pop of fake promises like in case of long-standing issues of Palestine and Kashmir. On the other, when non-Muslims raise their voice they are given the right of self-determination forthwith like in East Taimoor and likely in Sudan. He said Muslims were stabbed in the back by driving out Palestinians to establish Israel and now the biggest state of Africa and Arab world i.e. Sudan is being divided but the silence of the Islamic World on this development is meaningful.

The TNFJ chief said the WikiLeaks have unveiled the character of Muslim rulers and politicians that provides food for thought. He said India is responsible for murder of millions of Kashmiris, oppression against innocent women, destruction of holy places belonging to Christians and Sikhs. They are crushing dozens of movements for independence for the last half a century and those seeking independence are put in Indian jails. The international powers should tell whether they desire to give India permanent membership of the Security Council as a reward to such activities.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Balochistan’s mining treasurers belong to that province and they enjoy the first right on these treasures. Supreme Court’s taking notice on this issue is a good omen. Similarly, the judiciary should also take notice of issue of terrorism faced by the nation immediately. They should form a broad-based tribunal to know the reasons and the ways to root out terrorism from the country. If Pakistan is safe then its treasures are also save, he added. He said all sections of society including the rulers and the politicians will have to play their due role in turning Pakistan into a hub of peace.
