Shah’s letter to Mush addresses problems of Millat-i-Jafariya

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, October 23: Syed Mazhar Ali Shah Advocate, Secretary General of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has demanded from President Gen. Pervez Musharraf to get May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement implemented for solution of long-standing problems of the Shia community so as to remove the unrest being found in the ranks of Maktab-e-Tashayyo because we would be in a better position to ensure solidarity of Pakistan and thwart conspiracies of enemies of religion and motherland if we are satisfied from within.

He stated this in a special letter sent to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf inviting his attention towards problems and issues faced by the Millat-i-Jafariya Pakistan.

According to details, the TNFJ Secretary General in his letter has made it clear that motherland Pakistan was created courtesy sacrifices of all schools of thought including the Maktab-e-Tashayyo on equal basis and Maktab-e-Tashayyo never lagged behind in fulfilling the obligation to improve the condition that includes its solidarity and defense but it is unfortunate that Ahle-e-Tashayyo are being deprived of their rights so much so that they are not being given the basic facilities.

Attention of all governments in the past was invited toward the problems faced by the Maktab-e-Tashayyo but in vain, the letter said. Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan, that is the only representative body of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo had to begin 8-month long agitation in 1984 in connection with the Shia demands, during which thousands arrests were courted ultimately resulting in signing of Junejo-Moosavi agreement on May 21, 1985 on government level and that is placed in the record of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. A 16-member Committee headed by then Federal Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs was formed as a result of this agreement, which met many a time, but situation remained the same viz. Shia problems.

The Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan presented Moosavi Peace Formula to tackle the acute issue of terrorism faced by the country for long in which point of view adopted was that a terrorist keeps no religion, Maslak and country, he is only a terrorist and should be seen and tackled in that context only. This Peace Formula was also presented in the court of Chief Justice of Pakistan who declared it good. This Peace Formula was declared absolutely correct when presented by Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan while throwing light on the pros and cons of terrorism at a meeting held in Islamabad on the invitation of former Federal Interior Minister Moeenuddin Haider, the letter said.

Almighty Allah may compensate you for issuing Anti-Terrorism Ordinance fulfilling the long-standing desire of the nation. This Ordinance that has turned into an Act now, has not only unveiled terrorist groups but also imposed restrictions on them. But these restricted groups have now started their operation again with new names rather they also took part in election that is commensurate with sabotaging the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Mazhar Ali Shah Advocate called upon President Gen. Pervez Musharraf to issue orders for correcting the law and order situation in the country keeping in view the oncoming holy month of Ramazan-ul-Mubarik because heavy worship is carried out during the month of Ramazan-ul-Mubarik.

The demise anniversary of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) will be observed as “Youm-ul-Huzn” on 10th Ramazan-ul-Mubarik, birth anniversary of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) will be observed as “Youm-e-Aman” on 15th Ramazan-ul-Mubarik, 3-day “Ayyam-e-Aza” will be observed from 19-21 Ramazan-ul-Mubarik to mark the martyrdom of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.), and country-wide programs of “Youm-ul-Quds Himayat-e-Mazloomin” will organized on Jumatul Wida.

Concrete steps are necessary to ensure law and order on all these occasion so that these programs could be carried out without any fear. The TNFJ Secretary General, in his letter made it clear that we keep the interest of Islam, Pakistan, and its people supreme over all other matters.
