RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that colonial powers desire to divide the Islamic States on the basis of Masalik and pitch them against each other and Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya has thwarted their designs and saved the Two-Nation theory from being trampled. He said the May 21, 1985 agreement is the milestone in protecting and defending the Two-Nation Theory. He said Grasmin’s refusal to give clear-cut assurance of not repeating Abbottabad like activity in future is a clear indication of American designs and the whole nation would have to become a concrete wall against these designs by giving up mutual differences. He called upon the rulers to get the Drone attacks stopped forthwith while keeping the Two-Nation theory alive is obligatory for all religious and political powers so as to root out biases. This was stated by him while addressing an organisational workshop organised by Mukhtar Organisation on the occasion of Youm-e-Muahidah May 21.

Agha Moosavi said Pakistan was achieved by Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah but he expired soon after a year and after his demise Pakistan came in the hands of martial laws depriving the people of their rights. However, he said the National Assembly at last passed a consensus constitution making the Two-Nation theory its central point. Unfortunately, the third dictator took over the reins of power tearing the Nazria-e-Asaasi apart and announced to turn Pakistan into a State of a particular school of thought. As a result of which, he added, Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya came into being and took over the Pakistan Secretariat making it clear on the tyrant ruler that all biases are created when the rights of the people are denied.

The TNFJ chief said the Zia amended the Article 30/3 of the Police Act to promote sectarianism and limit Azadari against which Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya launched an agitation that continued for eight months during which 14,000 people courted arrest and two were martyred. As many as 135 Sunni brethren and 8 Christians also courted arrest during this agitation that culminated on a historic Junejo-Moosavi agreement on May 21, 1985 bringing a 16-man Shia Demands Committee to fore to meet the Shia demands that included: enforcement of Fiqh-e-Jafariya for Maktab-e-Tashih; separate Shia deenyat curriculum; Shia faculty in Islami universities; effective Shia representation in government organisations, judiciary, Federal Shariat Court, media on the basis of equality; lifting of restrictions on Azadari, separate Shia Auqaf Board, restoration of holy shrines in Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah and reversal of the amendment in the Police Act.

However, he said, the agents of the tyrant rulers continued their conspiracies and tried to get private Shariat Bill passed which was rejected by the TNFJ saying that there is no need of any Shariat Bill in the presence of 1973 Constitution and the explanation of Quran and Sunnah should be respected as is followed by any relevant Maktab. This third martial law gifted heroin and Kalashnikov culture and terrorism that still exist, mosques and Imambargahs were made Maqtalgahs and the champions of democracy elements who were sitting in the lap of the tyrant rulers even got some holy and recognised books including Nehjul Balaghah banned. The TNFJ invited the attention of Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah who took a suo moto action to root out terrorism. TNFJ presented an 800-page Moosavi Peace Formula in the Supreme Court that is still there in the court records in the light of which Anti-Terrorism Act came into being.

Agha Moosavi said the fourth martial law gifted the nation with suicide attacks and Drone attacks. The Tehreek saved the Maktab Ahle Sunnat and Ahle Tashih by saying that ongoing terrorism is not Maktabi rather is the war of a few groups who are being fed on foreign aid. He said the situation today is that Pakistan who is playing the role of front-line State against war of terror has been humiliated by carrying out Abbottabad operation and all that was happening under the cover of civilian government. He lamented that no action was taken on the consensus resolution of the Parliament against Drone attacks in 2008 and another was passed after the Abbottabad operation. Soon after American Senator John Kerry came to Pakistan in threatening mood followed by Drone attacks in his presence here while Nato helicopters also attacked Pakistani posts injuring two soldiers. He said implementation of the resolution passed by the Parliament is the need of the hour.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi demanded from the government to ensure the implementation of May 21, 1985 agreement and give phase-wise leadership of Islamic Council of Ideology and other government religious organisations to all schools of thought snapping the monopoly of some particular groups. He made it clear that motherland Pakistan is very dear to them being the only Islamic ideological State. Therefore, they would not hesitate in offering any sacrifice in protecting the ideology of the motherland and will thwart every conspiracy aimed at dividing the Makatib through their unity.
