RAWALPINDI, December 27: Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari, Additional Secretary General of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya has said that all powers residing in Pakistan should not only be respected rather their rights should be taken care of on the basis of equality.

He stated this while talking to a delegation of office-bearers of TNFJ District Rawalpindi led by its President here on Tuesday. He said motherland Pakistan has the honour that it was created in the name of Islam and the unity and brotherhood displayed by all schools of thought under the flag of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the way they offered all type of sacrifices speaks of his statesmanship.

The survival, development, integrity and stability of the motherland lay in the similar practical unity and brotherhood. It is only possible when supremacy of the law is accepted and rights of all schools of thought who had been deprived of their basic rights since long are taken care of.

Bokhari said, today when we talk about achievement of rights from our enemies then we would have to follow the same first, for ourselves. The long-standing demands of Maktab-e-Tashayyo that is deprived of its rights since creation of Pakistan should be fulfilled, the powers that be should adopt positive policies, tackle the political and religious parties with justice and fair-play, only then we could be able to protect our national interests rather could thwart all conspiracies of our combined enemy.

He made it clear that religion is the name of love and affection and Prophets and Messengers had been preaching the same, the Holy Prophet (SAW) had been declared a blessing for the whole universe. The promotion of the religion today is courtesy high character and not that of sword or Kalashnikov. Islam while declaring discrimination as illegal advises to adopt tolerance and forbearance because the key to the mirage of the nation and the country lay in adopted a balanced path.

The TNFJ Additional Secretary General said today the colonial powers and their agents were dominating all around, massacre is going on in Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq and to stop it and to solve the problems confronted by them priority would have to be given to dialogue by sticking to the golden principles of Islam and give up confrontation.

He said the Pakistan’s Ahle Tashayyo are bound to follow the commandments of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi for realisation of their religious rights and would follow any line of action given by him in future also.
