RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali
Shah Moosavi has said that commemoration of sacrifice rendered by the
grandson of Prophet (S) Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) – Azadari – bestows
life to spirit of sacrifice which is very important to thwart colonial
powers; azadari of Imam e mazloom, a peaceful universal protest
against the world of Iblisiat, is our jugular vein and fundamental
right; neither our forefathers accepted any hurdle or naughtiness in
it nor would we; permission for right is uncalled for;live nations
never give up their rights; during Ayyam-i-aza the government is duty
bound to get Moosavi-Junejo agreement of 21 May 85 implemented
regarding holding of majalis-i-aza and taking out of azadari
processions; Muharram Azadari Cells must be set up in interior
ministry, all provinces and azad Kashmir for resolution of problems of
azadaran; make sure complete restriction on work of outlawed terrorist
groups; political and religious leaders keep every kind of political
activities suspended during ashra-i-Muharram; cancel examination
schedule; government security measures are mere show-off, if she
terminate her arrangements even then Sunni, Shia, Deobandi, and
Barelvi will protect processions and majalis together; declaring
favorite State to India is deviation from Islamic and Quranic
teachings, Quran calls Islam favorite (most liked) and not the atheist
world; before resolution of Kashmir issue expectation of peace with
India is worthless.
He stated this while addressing a packed press conference held at
headquarters of Maktab-i-Tashayyo to declare 25-point Code of Azadari
in connection with the upcoming Muharram ul Haram.
Answering the questions posed by journalists, Agha Moosavi said that
he has informed the federal and all provincial governments about his
demands for Muharram arrangements through letters. Committees made by
the government regarding Muharram are mere paper work; only those
persons are summoned in these committees who are obedient to the
rulers.
While replying another question, the TNFJ chief regretted that Muslim
rulers are colonial agents; Arab League and other Muslim organizations
work for colonial interests instead of Muslims’; Arab League canceled
Libya’s name and the colonial powers trampled it; now it annulled
Syria membership and there colonial game has started which provides
food for thought. He asked that why Arab League does not abandon
membership of Bahrain, Yemen and Egypt where minority clique is busy
in doing oppression against the people.
In response to another question regarding possible attack on Iran,
Agha Moosavi said Iran is that country which accepted Pakistan first
of all, stood by its side in time of need; we consider attack on any
Islamic State including Iran as an assault against world of Islam
because Islam does not acknowledge geographical boundaries; Muslims
share their problems and for their resolution they have to adopt a
joint policy. He said the powers that be should bear in mind that US
is not friend of anyone ; it just keeps its interests dear therefore
Muslim rulers must take steps for interests of Muslims.
We have to keep the philosophy of spirit of sacrifice alive like
the philosophy of Nimaz, fasting, Hajj is subservience and worship of
Allah, similarly Azadari-e-Imam Mazloom inculcates the power and
strength for subservience to Allah.
Muharramul Haram is the continuation of Hazrat Ismail’s (A.S.)
sacrifice. Many reminiscences are linked with the month of Muharram
through which the echoes of love, faithfulness are heard all around.
Majalis and Azadari processions are the eternal protests against
oppression and brutality in memory of the Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) and
the world of Yazidiyyat shivers even today on this protest. It is
necessary to keep the spirit of sacrifice alive to thwart the
international colonial powers and it is our obligation to arrange
Azadari for its survival.
Today Muharramul Haram is coming at a time when the international
terrorists and their agents have made the live of humanity difficult
all around. Afghanistan and Iraq have been destructed, Tunis and Egypt
have been damaged, Libya has been destructed and all Muslim States are
becoming their target, one after the other. Motherland Pakistan is
their last target because its foundation rests on La Illaha Illallah
and according to couplets of Khwaja Moeenuddin Chishti foundation of
La Ilaha is sacrifice of Hussain.
We are committed that we would continue thwarting the heinous
conspiracies of the international chief of colonial powers and her
agents till we are alive. Therefore, every patriotic person is under
the obligation to thwart the heinous conspiracies of the satanic trio
through the practical unity and brotherhood and laced with the spirit
of Shahadat and tell them we all will observe the grief of Imam Aali
Muqaam (A.S.) by following the usswa-e-Shabbiri and through the
display of unity and brotherhood and will present Pursa in the
Bargah-e-Risalat (SAAW) and Masoomin (A.S.) by presenting homage to
them.

Hazrat Imam Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) had openly stated that he
considers the baia’ayat of Yazid and his government un-Islamic.
Whereas he stated the reasons for his Qayam, he explained his future
policy also. In other words, the most important objective of the Imam
(A.S.) was to root out the power of evil that was occupying the status
of Khalifate of Islam despite all evils, misdeeds and Munkiraat and
was bent upon destructing the Ummat-e-Wast through promoting arson,
oppression and brutality.
Fulfilling his plans against activities contrary to Quran and Islam
and rooting out the Yazidi force was the obligation of the
Waris-e-Rasool. Imam Aali Muqaam Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) had made it
clear on the day one that he will not remain silent even if no
baia’ayat is demanded from him because my differences with Yazid are
not limited to baia’ayat but actually Yazid was committing oppression,
suppression and brutality and was bringing out changes through social
evils and in Islamic commandments and he has started saying on the
Mimber that: Bani Hashim (God forbid) had staged a drama, no angel had
come and no Wahi was sent. The Masoom (A.S.) made it clear that the
Halal declared by Muhammad (A.S.) is Halal till the D-Day and the
Haram declared by Muhammad (A.S.) is Haram till the Day of Judgement
and no power on earth could bring changes in it in my presence. This
is the obligation bestowed on me from Allah to correct these
wrong-doings, give commandment for good and stop from evil, I have
therefore adopted the path of Shahadat for revival of
Sunnat-e-Illahiya. Hussain (A.S.) is neither desirous of government or
wealth nor desires to interfere in the matters of the Muslims. What he
said on the day one, he implemented the same.
Agha Moosavi expressed his hope that all patriotic persons will thwart
the heinous conspiracies of the satanic trio through the practical
unity and brotherhood and laced with the spirit of Shahadat and tell
them we all will observe the grief of Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) by
following the usswa-e-Shabbiri and through the display of unity and
brotherhood and will present condolence to the court of Risalat
(SAAW), Ahle Bait i Atahaar (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kibaar (R.A.) by
presenting homage to them.
