By: Salman Alvi

KARACHI, Pakistan: Chairman TNFJ Political Cell Dr Iqbal Javed Haideri said Islam is that inclusive religion in the universe which is a complete code of life, following which we could get rid of all our problems.

He was addressing a news conference in Karachi Press Club. TNFJ Central Spokesman Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, Provincial General Secretary Allama Waqar Hassan Taqwi, President Regional Council Karachi Allama Mazhar Hussain Abidi and Central Coordination Secretary for Sindh Ammar Yasir were also present on the occasion.

Dr. Haideri said politics is that important department of life which belongs to State and its people. It in obeys religion and Shariah. As Pakistan came into being on the basis of two-nation theory, that is why Islam is its official religion according to the constitution, and not any group or sect. Therefore, TNFJ keeps this stance from the first day that practical politics on sectarian and lingual basis is extremely detrimental for the nation and the country. That’s why TNFJ does not take part in practical electoral politics, but we have always given our voters an honorable election policy and line of action from TNFJ Political Cell on the occasion of every election to cast their votes.

He said the basic objective of TNFJ Political Cell is to tell the voters that casting or seeking ballot on the basis of sect, group, language or region is deadly poison, and the nation is still suffering for this heinous mistake practiced in the past. He demanded from President General Pervez Musharraf to ban practical politics from sectarian and lingual platform as our enemy reaps benefit from it, fresh example of which is Iraq where anti-Islam forces are dividing even cities into sects, although we all are Muslims.

DR Haideri announced the appointment of Syed Ilyas Hussain Zaidi as Chairman TNFJ Political Cell Sindh. He also commended the services of retiring Chairman Abdul Wahab Advocate.
