Ulema-e-Haq responsible to defend religion & Shariat, Moosavi

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, June 18: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has said protection and defense of religion and Shariat is the foremost responsibility of the Ulema-e-Haq and there is need to create coherence in their words and deeds to fulfill that responsibility.

He stated this while talking to a representative delegation of Ulema Wing of Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Azadari Pakistan that called on him at the head of Sultan-ul-Waizeen Allama Agha Ali Hussain Najafi here on Wednesday. He said the religion, which ulema are preachers, is commensurate with love and devotion. He said colonial powers and their agents were using every tactic to defame Islam after the dismemberment of Russia and for that purpose they were bent upon defaming Muslims by terming them extremists, violence loving, fundamentalists, orthodox and what not. He said they were creating a situation to interfere in the affairs of other States and in their Masalik while the chief of international colonial powers is responsible for all this.

Agha Moosavi said American aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq is no more a secret, and now she was bent upon seeking solution of Kashmir issue in South Asia, and Palestine issue in Middle East keeping to the desire of Hindus and Zionists, respectively. As the beloved motherland Pakistan is based on Islam, therefore it is her special target. He said the President was touring different foreign countries at present that has increased his responsibilities manifold.

He said whether it is Palestine or Kashmir, the history of both these States is replete with oppression and brutality as Vajpayee and Sharon have made their live difficult. In these circumstances, he said, the President should make it clear in unequivocal terms that the only solution to Kashmir and Palestine issues lay in implementation of United Nations Resolutions keeping to the desire of their respective people through giving them right of self-determination.

The TNFJ chief said the trio was utilizing all its energies in linking the independence movements with terrorism, which should be taken notice of rather attention of the international organizations, should be invited towards this situation asking them that if they desire peace in these regions then solution of problems is the need of the hour.

Moreover, he said protection of the atomic plant is also our responsibility that guarantees country’s defense and on which no bargaining could be allowed. Commenting on American request to send Pakistani forces to Iraq, he said, the President should make it clear on them that this job should be handed over to the United Nations that should take a decision, and no action should be taken on American request, otherwise it would be commensurate to oppression.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said it was obligatory for the Ulema-e-Haq to adopt joint strategy for the protection of ideological frontiers along with the geographical boundaries, because we keep the protection of our ideology dearer than every thing. He said they should reiterate their resolve to discourage all types of biases and promote love and brotherhood, rooting out hatred and differences. He said this is the mission of “Wila” and “Aza” struggling for which is considered worship and a blessing.
