ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The stance was reiterated during the all Pakistan Waizeen O Zakreen convention that the motherland Pakistan will not be allowed to become a sectarian, linguistic or prejudice state. The all Pakistan representative convention of Ulema O Zakreen was held at the shrine of Shah Allah Dita Peer Bhakri Islamabad on Friday in which Allama Nasir Abbas of Multan adopted a point of view that the incidents of terrorism and target killings in Gilgit Baltistan, Chalas, Khan Pur, Kohistan, Quetta and Karachi are the continuation of the same terrorism which was born from the womb of the Zia’s dictatorship era.

He posed a question that the chief Justice who takes notice of even minor incidents why does he not take the notice of terrorists being freed by courts due to insufficient proof?

Allama Nasir Abbas demanded from the government to secure all the routes leading to Gilgit Baltistan, Parachinaar, Hazara Town Quetta and including all other sensitive areas by handing them over to the armed forces. In the announcement of the convention it was made clear that it was the General Zia ul Haq who poisoned the veins of the nation by holding elections on the basis of sectarianism, linguistic backgrounds and beliefs; during the upcoming elections, the whole of the Millat e Jafariya will be following the programme given by the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi and the votes will only be cast in the favour of those who will carry good work for the betterment of the nation. Allama Nasir Abbas of Multan also demanded from the government that the shrine of the founder of Islamabad Sultan ul Fuqra Hazrat Bari Imam must be opened for the public, which is closed for the last five years.

On the occasion of Hafta e Azmat e Mohammad O Aal e Mohammad (PBUT) as announced by the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi in connection with the martyrdom anniversary of the lady of the heaven Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH), the convention was held under the auspices of Makhdoom Nazakat Hussain Naqvi in which Syed ul Ulema Allama Nasim Abbas Rizvi, Allama Agha Ali Hussain Najafi, Sultan ul Zakreen Zakir Madah Hussain Shah and other renown Zakreen, Waizeen, sponsors of Majalis, Azadars and Matamdars attended in great numbers.

In the announcement of the convention it was made clear that Syeda Fatima Zahra (PBUH) is the first personality of Islam who set a path of raising a voice in favour of once rights and Syeda Zainab (PBUH) while establishing Aza e Hussaini unveil the face of falsehood, hypocrisy and cheating and therefore it is our long tradition to raise the voice of truth while following the footsteps of Hazrat Fatima Zahra and Zainab (PBUT).

In the announcement it was reminded that Pakistan was established by the joint struggle of Shia and Sunni but unfortunately for the last 64 years both recognized schools of thoughts are deprived of their rights. Eighty million Shia were neglected by every government and the current government is also following their predecessors; from the Islamic Ideology council to the level of the peace committees only the favourites of the government are holding offices which is utterly against the ideology of Pakistan; therefore while following the norm of fair play and justice, Shia should be given representations in all the state institutions on the basis of equality.

In the announcement the grave grief was expressed that those parties, which were banned on the basis of the proofs of terrorists activities; the terrorists belonging to those parties are openly operating again with new identities and the federal and Punjab governments and oppositions are causing further grief to the bereaved families of the victims of terrorism by keeping close ties with these terrorists. It was also demanded from the government that the banned groups must be handle with the iron hand and the ban must be imposed on the external financial aid to all the political and religious parties and the protest should also be raised on the diplomatic level to the financier countries. The Markaz of Maktab e Tasheyo has always offered for the audit of its financial resources because our finances are clean and we challenge to all others that if they also claim to be clean then they should also come forward and offer their accounts for the audits. Furthermore those who have no agenda other then politicising the corpses and setting alight to the public properties for their personal interest should also be dealt with iron hands who disappear to their safe heavens after creating disorder.

In the announcement it was made clear that we the public of Pakistan give respect to the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) his Holy Progeny (PBUT) and his pious companions (RA); Shia Sunni are brethrens of each others and observe ritual of Azadari and Milad un Nabi together therefore right after any incident of terrorism, creating and raising issue of sectarianism is to hide the truth. It is known fact that the Pakistanis are being made the fuel of the proxy wars of other countries which is being played on Pakistani land, unfortunately some Muslim states are also involved in this crime; In their own states long lasting peace is established and they are following the path of prosperity while Pakistan is being pushed into the fire of terrorism and turned into Hell fire.

In the announcement it was said that this is a matter of great concern and a cause of great grief for the whole of the nation that thousands of mothers lost their sons and many children became orphan due to the terrorism but till to date not a single terrorist has been awarded any punishments by the courts; the witnesses of the incidents of terrorisms are either made to change their statements or been murdered. This is also matter of grave grief that in the parliament securing the routes for the NATO supply is being discussed but the national highways are made unsafe for the residence of the motherland; from the incident of Mastong to the incident of Chalas and Quetta, all are portraying the helplessness of the government. The resolution in the American Congress concerning Balouchistan was also considered to be against the sovereignty of the motherland; accepting an offer of Indians for the power supply was considered to be equivalent to putting aside the issue of Indian terrorism which it is committing in the form of building illegal dams on the rivers leading to Pakistan. The threat of Obama to attack Iran was condemned and it was demanded from the government that the drone attacks must be made stopped; the operation of the armed forces against terrorists were highly praised.

In the announcement it was also demanded from the government that it should adopt a courageous policy against the American intervention in the internal affairs of Pakistan, aggression of American forces on Salala check post, drone attacks and terrorism sponsored by America. A question is being posed to America that what price it has set for the heads of those who were the masterminds of the incident of Samjohta express? We consider an attack on one nation or section of the society as an attack on all; if today plans are laid down to attack one country and price is being put on the head of some one’s else head then no one should be over optimistic because America is the enemy of all Muslims and will swallow one Muslim state after the other; therefore, the whole of the Muslim nation will have to adopt a unifying courageous and bold policy against the colonial monster.

The thousands of the participants of the convention expressed grave grief on a fact that for the last five years the seekers of spirituality are deprived of visiting the tomb of Bari Imam; the government should complete the Bari Imam Complex immediately and the entrance gates of the Bari Imam complex should be named after the Panjtan Pak (PBUT) who are respected by all Shia and Sunnis alike; on the head stone of the Bari Imam’s grave the complete Kalima with Ali un Wali Ullah should be written as it was ascribed previously. In the announcement, the illegal distribution of the land consist of 96 Kanal belong to the shrine of the father of Bari Imam, Sakhi Mahmood Shah was highly condemned and while appreciating the efforts of Tahafaz e Mazaraat Committee which has been formed to restore the dignity and honour of these two shrines made it clear that any attempt to make these shrines disputable or to destroy their recognition will be wrath and that the government must not take our politeness as our weakness.

It was also reminded that the poor conditions of the Janat Ul Mua’alla and Janat ul Baqih the last resting places of the forefathers, mothers and the Holy Progeny of the Holy Prophet (PBUT), His pious wives and companions (RA) and especially the shrine of the beloved daughter of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) is an open challenge for the dignity and honour of the whole of the Muslim nation. It is the demand of this convention that the historical glory of these Holy Shrines must be restored.

In the announcement of the convention it was made clear that the Tehreek Tahfaz e Wala O Aza O Azmat e Sadat is the representative organization of Shia Ulema o Zakreen, which is busy for the achievements of the great objectives of the Shia nation; we are only bound to follow the stance put forward by the headquarters of the Maktab e Tasheyo, Ali Masjid.

It was reminded in the announcement of the convention that Pakistan came into being on the name of the pious personalities of Islam; in the past we offered sacrifices for its sovereignty and we will never hesitate to sacrifice our lives again when ever they are required for its defence.

Those powers who are trying to push the Maktabe Tasheyo into a corner should remember that we never accepted defeat even in the era of Abbasid which was full of brutality and oppression and recently during the dictatorship era of Zia when restrictions were imposed on the rituals of Azadari and Pakistan was tried to be turned into a sectarian estate, then Shia of Pakistan under the prudent leadership of the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali shah Moosavi after holding long term agitation which lasted for months made the dictator to bow down on front of our demands. We reiterate our resolve that when ever the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi call us for the elevation of the Walayat e Ali, Aza e Hussain, the dignity and honour of Sadaat and the holy shrines, the whole nation will not hesitate to offer any type of sacrifices.

From all over the country, Hussaini Zakreen, Ulema O Waizeen, the sponsors of Majalis, the licence holders of Azadari processions, representatives of Matami Sangats and Azadars attended the convention
