RAWALPINDI, September 26: Syed Mazhar Ali Shah Advocate, Secretary General of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has demanded from the government to give ideological representation to Maktab-e-Tashayyo in all State departments including the media on the basis of equality.

He stated this while addressing the central office-bearers of the TNFJ that reviewed the performance of all departments of the Tehreek here on Saturday.

Mazhar Ali Shah said that like other schools of thought, the Maktab-e-Tashayyo is also deprived of basic rights for quite long and like every government, the present government is also ignoring it on every level and was furthering the cause of a particular ideology instead that is tragic.

He said the President of Pakistan while addressing the United Nations session has not only represented the whole Pakistani nation but also the Islamic World. The President has rightly said that most of the international problems are related to Muslims and that extremists would continue getting strength until the Western world resolves these problems by following the norms of justice and fair-play.

The TNFJ Secretary General said it is to ponder over that to what extent Muslim rulers themselves were following justice in tackling their people. He said Pakistan came into being owing to sacrifices rendered by all schools of thought but problems faced by the Maktab-e-Tashayyo are being ignored.

He demanded from the government to implement the May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement for solution of long-standing Shia problems because Pakistan was not created for any particular fiqh and the Maktab-e-Tashayyo did not lack behind and had played its role at the time of its creation and for its survival and stability on every difficult moment, on the basis of equality. He disclosed that a high level meeting of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya is being summoned in near future to review the national issues in detail.
