RAWALPINDI, Pakistan : Chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has vowed to continue his practical struggle for achievement and protection of rights with full sincerity of purpose, and he would neither bargain on principles nor would allow anyone to do so.

He stated this in a message issued on the beginning of Ayyam-e-Shuhada-e-Hussaini Mahaz (Days of Hussaini Front Martyrs) that is being observed throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas with religious and national spirit from December 21-23.

He said Rights of Allah and Rights of His servants are the obligation of the whole humanity. The world had been confronting one problem or the other since its inception the basic reason of which is different types of problems, aggression, oppression, suppression and brutality as a result of ignorance to fulfilment of rights. He made it clear that Islam is the greatest religion that safeguards the rights of even animals and considers aggression against anyone as a sin.

Agha Moosavi said motherland Pakistan enjoys the singular honour that it was created in the name of Islam and all schools of thought living in it decorated it, its basic objective is enforcement of Islam and taking care of rights of everyone on the basis of equality and for that very reason Islam was declared as the official religion of Pakistan under the Article 2 of Pakistan’s Constitution, while in Article 227, it was mentioned that that explanation of Quran and Sunnat would be considered applicable that would be acceptable for every recognised sect.

He said we have seen the result of sense of deprivation in 1971 after which one should have learnt a lesson out of it but a dictator tore apart the Two-Nation Theory and announced to make Pakistan a particular State. At that moment, Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya (TNFJ) jumped in the array and thwarted this heinous conspiracy. The same tyrant ruler again announced to limit Muslims to their places of worship in a bid to divide the nation in 1985 as a result of which an 8-month agitation was staged against that decision on the plea that Islam has the honour of considering the whole earth as a mosque and worship could be offered at any place without any hindrance.

The TNFJ chief said police forced us on agitation by firing tear-gas shells on our peaceful ‘Dharna’ on Ashoora, October 1, 1984 and arrested 1035 Azadaran including himself forcing us to form Hussaini Mahaz. We and with us thousands of people belonging to all schools of thought including Christians courted arrest on daily basis without any break as a result of which May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement came into being that is the fruit of sacrifices rendered by Shaheed-e-Zindaan Ashraf Ali Rizvi and Shaheed-e-Maidaan Safdar Ali Naqvi. As a result of that agreement, a 16-member Demands Committee was formed that comprised four Federal Ministers, our representatives and some representatives of other schools of thought on our proposal.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi said today Pakistan is firm on Basic Ideology as a result of agitation from Hussaini Mahaz and the martyrdoms rendered during this agitation. We would not allow any Satanic force to violate the basic ideology come what may till any drop of blood runs in our veins, that is our promise with generation to generation. We would not allow the blood, shed for the achievement of our goals, go waste and rights of all schools of thought would be taken care of on the basis of equality and no one would be allowed to create any rift amongst them.

Paying homage to the Shuhada-e-Alam-e-Islam and Aseeran-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya on the occasion of Ayyam-e-Shuhada-e-Hussaini Mahaz, he reiterated his resolve he had not shattered the trust reposed in him by the nation at Deena Convention, neither he will do it in future nor would allow anyone to do so. He said ‘Wila’ is our life and ‘Aza’ is our jugular vein, martyrdom is our inheritance while love with the motherland is a part of our faith (Iman) and we consider it our religious and legal duty to defend the same.
