UN must press US to quit Iraq forthwith, play role: TNFJ meet

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, October 20: At the conclusion of the two-day meeting of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan that was presided over by the Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi adopted different resolutions about important national and international matters.

According to Central Secretary Information of the Tehreek Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi the participants of the meeting by a resolution expressed deep concern over US occupation of Iraq and urged that Iraq is the land of Ambiya and Awliya wherein are buried Adam and Noah (peace be upon them) besides other great personalities, therefore, the United Nations should exert pressure on the US for immediate withdrawal of occupying American forces playing its role. ICC must also take suo moto notice to make US illegal occupation of Iraq end, it added.

The resolution strongly condemned the targeting of several Maraje Uzzam including Ayatullah Baqer Al-Hakim in terrorism. Holding US responsible for the recent mischief in Karbala Moalla, the resolution termed it “trampling of the dignity of the holy land” and appealed the Iraqi people to work with wisdom as enemy is bent upon dividing them, therefore they should foil the enemy adopting a policy of mutual understanding.

Another resolution while harshly denouncing the massacre of innocent people in Palestine and Kashmir at the hands of Zionists and Hindus expressed concern on the matter that whenever any pro-oppressed nations and Muslim people resolution is presented in UN it is vetoed which proves that these bodies are working under the United States aimed at strengthening their stooges: India and Israel.

By another resolution, the meeting made clear censuring Israeli strike on Syria that Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran all these countries are home to Sha’a’ir-ullah which are combined inheritance of all, ergo aggression on any Muslim state will be tantamount to assault against Muslims of the whole world.

The resolution also demanded from the Muslim rulers to get the dignity of all Sha’a’ir-ullah including Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moalla restored besides fulfillment of rights of people and all schools of thought on internal level, because none’s dignity and honour could be restored until they do so, it added.

The resolution further expressed grave concern that every government ignored Shia School of Thought, and the present government is following the same policy as well; Shia School of Thought is deprived of ideological representation in all state departments including electronic media, fresh example of which is non-coverage by Pakistan television of the TNFJ two-day high-level meeting, and afterwards airing not despite sending the news item which is an open injustice. Also, the print media shrinks from giving the Shia School of Thought its due right, which is contrary to justice.

The resolution made clear that if newspapers and magazines would not give coverage to Shia School of Thought then they deserve no right to be called “national media”. If rights of all schools of thought will not be cared then government claims at higher forums will display contradiction of words and deeds.

Yet another resolution demanded from the Islamic world that as Pakistan came into being under Islamic ideology, therefore if whole Muslim Ummah will accept its leadership, none could see towards Islamic world with an evil eye.

The government was stressed by another resolution adopted in the meeting to draw up such educational curriculum, which highlights Islamic ideology and usurps not rights of any school of thought. In this regard, while drawing up the curriculum of Islamic Studies throughout the country, the Junejo-Moosavi agreement of May 21 1985 must be kept in view under which separate curriculum of Islamic Studies for Shia students from school to university level should be ensured.

Severely slamming the incidents of terrorism in federal capital Islamabad after Quetta and Karachi, and conflagration of shrine of Hazrat Sakhi Mahmoud Badshah, father of Hazrat Bari Imam, dozens of copies of holy Quran and other relics after Golra incident, another resolution demanded from the government to punish the perpetrators by forming a tribunal for probe in this heinous act as well as departmental action should be taken against inefficient officials of the administration.

Another resolution voiced full solidarity with freedom movements going on across the world including that of Kashmir, Palestine, Chechnya and Philippine. Another resolution demanding complete implementation of Anti-Terrorism Ordinance urged the government to avoid such steps which create fear in people, and the law should not be applied on poor only but everyone who violates the law must be clamped.

The meeting by another resolution demanded special arrangement to make sure law and order during Ramazan-ul-Mubarik, and appealed the people to be vigilant keeping an eye on miscreants.

On this occasion, the Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi announced the appointment of Syed Hassan Raza Naqvi as TNFJ Central Secretary of Public Welfare, Iqbal Javed Haideri Secretary TNFJ Political Cell, Allama Matloob Taqi Central Joint Secretary for Finance, Syed Ala Haider Central Secretary Azadari, Allama Zahid Abbas Kazmi Secretary Hajj and Ziyaraat while Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi as Central Secretary Information.

Allama Basharat Hussain Imami has been appointed Convener for this programme while Secretary Allama Fakhar Abbas Zahidi.
