By: Salman Alvi

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – April 04: Programs of countrywide Ayyam-e-Shaheedah-e-Zindaan, or the Days of Martyr of Prison, marking the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Sakina Bintul Hussein (S.A.) as announced by Quaid-e-Millat-e-Jafariya Agha Moosavi concluded on Sunday Safar-ul-Muzaffar 13.

On this occasion, Majalis-e-Aza organized by different religious and matmi organizations were held at Mosques, Imambargahs and Azakhanas across the country including Islamabad and Rawalpindi, and taboot of Hazrat Sakina (S.A.) were taken out.

Addressing a concluding majlis-e-aza of Ayyam-e-Shaheedah-e-Zindaan organized by Ha’et Tulba-e-Islamia at Jamiatul Momineen, Zakir Tabassum Kazmi said Shaheeda-e-Zindaan by confronting the oppression of Yazidi oppressors with patience and firmness proved to the world that every member of Aal-e-Muhammad (SAW) can shatter palaces of Yazidiyat. He described martyrdom of Aseera-e-Sham Hazrat Sakina (S.A.). Zakir Rawayat Hussein Rawi and Assad Abbas Naqvi also addressed. Later, matamdari was performed.

A resolution adopted on the occasion termed unjust ban by Balochistan government on religious and political processions in pretext of rooting out terrorism ‘violation of the constitution’ and tantamount to snatching human and fundamental rights. The resolution urged the government to provide complete protection to the processions of Arbaeen-e-Husseini, which have been taken out for centuries.

The resolution made clear that Mawaliyaan-e-Haider-e-Karrar of Pakistan will fully follow the Code of Azadari issued by the TNFJ chief Agha Moosavi and no hurdle in this regard would be bearable.

At Qasr-e-Abu Talib (A.S.), Syed Naseer Sabzawari while addressing the concluding session of Ayyam-e-Shaheedah-e-Zindaan majlis paid tributes to Agha Moosavi for announcing to observe the days of holy personalities in due manner. He slated Mutahidda Majlis-e-Amal saying that MMA is an ally to Balochistan government and ban on religious processions was imposed with its conspiracy, and that nation knows under which deal this was done. He said MMA must know that Sunni and Shia do not accept any banned leadership a spokesman of their schools of thought and protector of their rights. He very clearly declared that processions of Milad-un-Nabi (SAW) and Azadari are practical display of Islam’s magnificence and no power of the world could ever stop them.

Majalis were also held at Jamiatul Murtaza (A.S.), Imambargah Zainul Abideen (A.S.) and Magistrate Colony addressed by Allama Abbas Qummi, Allama Basharat Hussein Imami, Zakir Notak, Zakir Ata Rangar and other speakers.
