Keep honour of Maraje, Hoza Ilmia Najaf restored: TNFJ P-Council

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, April 13: Allama Abu-Jaffar Naqvi, President Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Punjab Province has said the world has learnt the lesson of defending belief and ideology from Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.), and Karbala is the source of inspiration for all oppressed nations including Kashmiris, Palestinians, Afghans and Iraqi people for achieving their rights and war of independence.

He stated this while addressing a representative meeting of TNFJ Provincial Council Punjab held in Rawalpindi Sub-Office on Tuesday. Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari, Convener of Central Muharram Committee (Azadari Cell) of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, especially attended the meeting.

Allama Abu-Jaffar said the colonial powers should keep in mind that creation of Pakistan is not a result of any incident rather it came into being under the Two-Nation Theory. The live nations neither forget their principles nor that allow anyone to cause harm to their ideologies. The atheist forces were afraid of the oppressed nations’ spirit of independence, freedom, and restoration of justice. He said knowledge and awareness are considered the basis for justice and fair-play, therefore, colonial powers were spending all her energies to cause damage to the education system of the Muslim World in general, and of Pakistan in particular.

He said organised drive against the preaching system of mosques, Imambargahs, and religious Madaris, taking out of Quran and Ahadis from curricula, brain-washing of teachers in the garb of training, making public useless activities in the name of educational reforms are a part of that conspiracy and like other Islamic States, this colonial game is also being played in Egypt. He said objective of these conspiracies is to push Pakistan back from the Two-Nation Theory. He said President Pervez Musharraf’s statement about not to take out Tehreek-e-Pakistan and Islamic Ideology from curricula as satisfactory.

Supporting the demand of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, he demanded from the government to form an enquiry commission at once to probe why this heinous game of changing the curricula was played, the hidden characters of this conspiracy should be unveiled and given exemplary punishment because survival and development of the nation and the country is linked with Basic Ideology needed for national unity.

Syed Shujaat Bokhari in his address on the occasion said, “Wila” and “Aza” are our main concerns; nobody was allowed to bargain on it in the past while no one would be allowed to do so in future also. He therefore appealed the powers that be and all patriotic forces to give priority to the interests of Islam and Pakistan over everything so as to thwart the conspiracy of enemies of humanity.

Some resolutions were also adopted during the meeting in which thanks was expressed for all Sunni, Shia brethren and administration for taking out of Chehlum processions particularly in Quetta in line with tradition. A resolution made it clear that the chain of Ayyam-e-Aza would continue till 8th Rabiul Awwal, therefore, these days should be given priority over all other matters. The resolution declared that there is no sectarianism in Pakistan, it is rather an Islamic State, therefore, May 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement should be kept in mind when preparing curricula.

Another resolution declared that menace of terrorism has surrounded the whole Islamic World, particularly Pakistan and there is an urgent need of complete implementation of Anti-Terrorism Act.

Yet another resolution strongly condemned the state terrorism in Kashmir and Palestine and international terrorist i.e. America’s aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq. The resolution said that now America was targeting holy places and religious scholars in Iraq that has unveiled her nefarious designs. The participants resolved that her only objective is to trample the dignity of Islam and Sha’a'ir-e-Islam; therefore, all international organisations should take the notice of American aggression and innocent killings.

Another resolution demanded that the honour and respect of Maraje Uzzam and Hoza Ilmia Najaf should be kept restored and expressed complete solidarity with the oppressed the world over. Representatives and Provincial Secretaries from all four regions of the Punjab also addressed the gathering.
