By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari, Convener of the Central Muharram Committee (Azadari Cell) of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan presided over an important meeting at the Central Control Room here on Sunday to review the arrangements of Azadari programs.

In his address on the occasion he said, that Karbala incident is the battlefield of righteousness and evil where Imam Aali Muqam (A.S.) presented great sacrifices along with his near and dear ones so as to preach the conscious people of this world how to live and die in honour that is why all nations present homage to Hussain ibne Ali (A.S.) in their own style.

He said the Gham-e-Hussain is more important to them as compared to any other grief therefore the Azadaran (Mourners) should give priority to Gham-e-Hussain over all other matters keeping to the desire of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi. He said the eternal lesson of the Karbala is that only fear from Allah.

Bokhari said the Central Control Room of Central Muharram Committee (Azadari Cell) of the TNFJ is working round the clock. He called upon the Azadars to contact the Central Control Room for solution of any issue on phones: 051-4840625/4410180.

Ala Haider, Secretary of the Central Muharram Committee of the TNFJ, in his address on the occasion, made it clear that we keep Azadari-e-Imam Mazloom (A.S.) dearest of anything else and would not bear any interference or hurdle in its way. He strongly demanded from the government to set up Azadari Cells at Federal Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Religious Affairs, and in all the four provinces including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas and these proposed Cell should be directed to closely coordinate with the Muharram Committee (Azadari Cell) of the TNFJ so that all schools of thought including the Maktab-e-Tashayyo could organize Azadari programs with respect, honour, and in peace.
