Muslim rulers liable for problems faced by humanity, Moosavi

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, October 22: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has said that Muslim rulers, who give importance to the priorities of international colonial powers over interests of the humanity, are responsible for problems and difficulties the world of humanity is confronted with today.

He stated this while talking to a representative delegation of elite from Northern Areas. He said for implementation on the Declaration issued at the conclusion of 10th OIC Summit it was necessary to get rid of all types of differences and anarchy, discourage biases, promote love, and display OIC unity at all fora within the Muslim States because we could not give any advice to others unless we ourselves follow the same and realize our responsibilities.

Agha Moosavi said that the line of action adopted at Putrajaya, by President Pervez Musharraf is being lauded but the people would consider is right only when such an initiative is started at home. He said the President has said everywhere that we keep Islam dearer than all other things and Pakistan is citadel of Islam but despite the fact that Islam is the official religion of Pakistan under article 2 of the constitution, the activities contrary to Islamic principles and values are the order of the day and the commandments to promote good and discourage the bad are being denied.

He said obscenity and nudity is being promoted on the electronic media and this attitude would prove damaging for people and would become a source of more defame and humiliation. He said we should create coherence between our words and deeds, as no one would repose trust in us unless we do it.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Ramazan-ul-Mubarik is approaching fast, therefore, the powers that be should get the obscenity and nudity stopped at the electronic media forthwith and give representation to all sections of society on the electronic media on the basis of equality.

He said, as Ramazan-ul-Mubarik is the month of Allah in which even taking breath is worship therefore law and order situation should be improved. He said imposing restrictions on ulama and loudspeaker is no solution of any issue but the only solution is to stop wrong use of the loudspeaker. He advised the powers that be to observe the moral values themselves first. He said if we would be free from any evil and strong discipline-wise from within then we would be in a better position to thwart the tactics of enemy by fighting it out.
