By: Salman Alvi

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 31: A grand Majlis-e-Aza under the arrangements of All Pakistan Syed Faqeer Matami Tanzim was held at Dera Sakhi Shah Chan Charagh in Darbar Hazrat Bari Imam Moosavi Al-Mash’hadi (R.A.), Islamabad, in connection with Annual Pursadari. Renowned ulema, waizeen and zakireen addressed the Majlis after which Zuljinah procession was taken out.

Thousands of Matamdaraan who thronged the occasion adopted resolutions presented by central leader of Mukhtar Force Pakistan (MFP) Ch. Mushtaq Hussain raising vociferous slogans.

A resolution said that the country was confronted with one problem or the other from within and without, and in these circumstances it was obligatory for rulers, politicians, and patriotic forces to give priority to the integrity and solidarity of the motherland over all other matters, work for promotion of Basic Ideology that could only be possible when rights of all schools of thought living in Pakistan are given on the basis of equality.

The resolution lamented that people of the country were deprived even of their basic rights for quite long, therefore, the rulers should ensure fulfillment of rights of all schools of thought under the constitutional norms because Islam is the official religion under the Constitution of Pakistan but a particular Maktab is entertained in all departments increasing the sense of deprivation amongst other Makatab.

The resolution demanded from the government to remove the unrest from amongst the ranks of Millat-i-Jafariya by implementing May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement for solution of long-standing problems of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo.

Another resolution expressed its concern that the Darbar of Hazrat Bari Imam Moosavi Al-Mashadi (R.A.) is under the control of a particular group since Ayub era and they have no link whatsoever with Hazrat Bari Imam (R.A.). The government should take notice of this fact, the renovation of the tomb should be made with due reverence while plan for its expansion should be completed as early as possible otherwise the administrative control of the tomb should be handed over to the real inheritors of the Bari Sarkar (R.A.).

The resolution made it clear that Hazrat Bari Imam (R.A.) and other Mashaheer-e-Islam always expressed hatred for oppressors and supported the oppressed, therefore, oppressed the world over, including the oppressed people of Kashmir and Palestine, should be extended support and no one should be allowed to bargain the blood, shed by Martyrs of Kashmir and Palestine.

Yet another resolution adopted by participants of Annual Matamdari reiterated their resolve to offer any sacrifice for the mission of “Wila” and “Aza” and for achievement of religious rights of the Millat-i-Jafariya on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

Later, all Matmi processions taken out from Dera Sakhi Shah Chan Charagh and other Deras terminated after reaching the Darbar of Hazrat Bari Imam (R.A.) where Bawa Syed Riaz Hussain Shah led the “Dua” and “Zairat”.
