A resolution presented by Aqeel Naqvi, Convener of District Wahdat-o-Akhuwwat Committee of the TNFJ was unanimously adopted by the participants. The resolution while strongly condemning continued terrorism, oppression and brutality in Iraq declared the inhuman treatment meted out to innocent citizens, even to women and innocent minors and barbaric treatment with the dead bodies in Madain as ‘disgrace to humanity’ and demanded from all international organisations of human rights including the United Nations and ICC to get this heinous game stopped otherwise they would not skip the revenge of God.

Allama Syed Abul Hassan Taqi, President TNFJ Regional Council Rawalpindi while addressing Mehfil-e-Sadqain (A.S.) organised by Col. Abuzar at Kazmi Manzil in Westridge said, the Holy Prophet (SAW) had advised the Ummah to remain attached with Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.) giving guarantee that both these would not separate from each other.

He said the message of the Khatmi Martabat (SAW) is Quran, the practical Tafseer of which was possible through the pious character and deeds of Ahle Bait (A.S.). He said today the whole humanity in general, and the Islamic World in particular is confronted with the oppression and brutality of the international colonial powers which is the result of keeping away from Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.). He said Uswah-e-Hasanah of Rasool-e-Sadiq (SAW) and his righteous inheritor Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) is the beacon of light for the whole humanity.

A resolution unanimously adopted on the occasion lamented that on one side Friendship Bus Service was going on in Kashmir while dozens of Kashmiris are killed every day, on the other, which is condemnable and tantamount to enmity in the garb of friendship.

Condemning the continued terrorism in Iraq, the resolution called upon the international organisations to play their role in getting the incidents of brutality, and massacre stopped otherwise there would be no justification for their survival.

Another resolution while expressing concern over totally ignoring both recognised schools of thought on the public and private electronic and print media on the pious occasion of Milad-un-Nabi (SAW) made it clear that Pakistan was not created in the name of any particular fiqh or Maktab but in the name of Islam but both these recognised schools of thought are being ignore on the electronic media which is total injustice and unconstitutional.

The resolution appealed the President Gen. Pervez Musharraf to get it probed that which are the elements that are busy in heinous conspiracy of pushing both Sunni and Shia schools of thought back in every State department while the recognised schools of thought should be given ideological representation on the basis of equality.

It pointed out that the nation sees the acts of ignoring its real representatives and invitation to non-representative people and banned groups to conferences and seminars organised at government level with hate, therefore, the President should take serious notice of this issue and make corrective actions forthwith.
