RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said processions of Milad-un-Nabi (SAWW) and Azadari of Syedush Shuhada (AS) are chain of great and steady protest continued for 14 centuries against blasphemors.

Talking to a delegation of Chakwal’s matmi azadaran that called on him under leadership of Malik Murtajiz Hasan, he said azadari processions are in fact the very first anti-blasphemy protest based by Hazrat Zainab (AS) and Imam Sajjad (AS) by delivering speeches on Risalat great status in bazars and courts of Kufa and Shaam after Karbala tragedy.

Moosavi said the sole dictator namely Yazid had said commiting open blasphemy that neither any thing revealed to the Prophet (SAWW) nor any angel descended, and that Bani Hashim made trick to get rule. Then the son of prophet (SAWW) came to the battle-field against this blasphemy and insult to religion and shariah. That is why all Muslims regardless of any discrimination salute to the greatness of the grandson of Prophet (SAWW) and the both recognized schools of thought i.e. Shia and Sunni hold programs during Muharram ul Haram and Safar to pay homage to Imam Hussain (AS) considering Hussainiyat the biggest front against blasphemors even the non-Muslims honor Imam Hussain (AS) and term his supreme sacrifice lesson-giving.

The TNFJ chief said Chakwal is examplary model of Shia-Sunni brotherhood that is why 90 percent brothers belonging to Sunni sect not only participate in majalis and processions arrangements rather render every possible cooperation to azadaran. He expressed great concern that since long a large number of people belonging to a neighboring country have stayed in Chakwal in form of Mahajireen turning it into Sohrab Goth. These mahajireen have been taken control of city’s business as well as they have purchased sites in villages.

Moreover, government agencies themselves stand witness that they (mahajireen) have interference in such kinds of incidents to make them stable.

Strongly condemning Choa Sedan Shah incident, Moosavi said some powers desire to create Karachi-like situation in Rawalpindi region therefore the government must immediately hold search operation of Chakwal, withdraw majhajireen from the city and send them to their native country, form judicial tribunal to punish the culprits, make no concession with anyone, cause Choa Sedan Shah procession to culminate on its destination according to its traditional route, compensate people, rein in Jalao-gherao doers and adopt such strategy that could help prevent such incidents.

He further demanded from the government to find out district administration that why it was unaware of this kind of situation despite the fact that earlier a big incident was happened in Chakwal city. He expressed astonishment that the local administration has banned even deceased ulema in different cities but given free hand to terrorists.

The TNFJ chief warned that whoever will do against religion and shariah, milad un Nabi, azadari, and nation and the country, will find us a hurdle in his way. He made clear that protest against injustice is fundamental right of everyone, and it needs no permission of anyone. If political rallies, dharne (sit-in), strikes and processions could be held then what does noise against milad un Nabi and azadari processions mean? He said azadari processions are the fountainhead of protest of oppressed nations; all have learned the method of protest from here, he added.

Moosavi appealed to all schools of thought to foil rift-creating conspiracy by displaying unity. People should remain peaceful, keep strict eye on miscreants, and prefer peace and national integrity.
