Pak Eid resolutions call for world orgs role in occupied areas independence By: Salman Alvi
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Eid prayer gatherings were held at Jamia Mosques and open places all over the country on the occasion of Eid-ul Azha. Scholars and speakers highlighted the historic occasion of presenting the sacrifice of Hazrat Ismail (A.S.) by Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S.) in way of Allah and the philosophy of sacrifice. They stressed the need of promoting the pious feelings of sacrifice, brotherhood and tolerance for solution to problems confronted by the humanity. Various resolutions were adopted on the occasion regarding important national and international matters. Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, TNFJ’s Central Secretary Information, in a resolution presented to the main gathering of Eid-ul Azha prayers expressed grave concern that the whole world in general, and Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq in particular are confronted with terrorism and that has been increased further after the 9/11 incident.
It said that there is a long standing point of view of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, that evil could not be wiped out with evil but good, and oppression could not be wiped out with oppression but justice. It said that the whole humanity was under the obligation to check terrorism, more responsibility lay particularly on all international institutions including the United Nations in this connection as they were created with the purpose of achieving rights of the oppressed and take practical steps to ensure independence of occupied areas, therefore, they are under the obligation to play their important role to fulfil that obligation, otherwise there is no justification for them to survive. The resolution said that the representative institutions of the Muslim Ummah and the OIC should wake up from deep slumber and lay a concrete strategy for solution of problems faced by the Islamic World. The resolution made it clear that Founder of Pakistan Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had declared Kashmir the jugular vein of Pakistan and Pakistan has always given importance to the policy of peace with India but India did not accept it following traditional stance. The resolution said the only solution to Kashmir and Palestine issues lay in implementation of United Nations Resolution. Another resolution while strongly condemning attack on Hussainia At-Taf in Iraq made it clear that those who carry out such activities are enemies of Islam and humanity and friends of Satan, therefore, all rulers should condemn it.
The Eid-ul Azha congregation expressed grave concern over terrorism confronted to the motherland Pakistan for the last 25 years and President Gen. Pervez Musharraf had taken some good steps to root it out but some unseen powers were intentionally busy in aggravating the situation in Balochistan and other places. Therefore, it said, the government should resolve these problems with wisdom and seriousness as no one commits treachery here rather every Pakistani is sincere and whenever anyone tried to cause any harm to Pakistan they all confronted the enemy like a concrete wall, therefore, dignity and respect of all sections of society living in the country should be taken care of because only then we can thwart the conspiracies of the enemy jointly and turn the country into a hub of peace. Yet another resolution condemning the Gilgit incident strongly demanded from the government to form a high level Tribunal to probe the incident, arrest the assassins of all martyrs without any discrimination and give them exemplary punishment. Another resolution demanded immediate implementation of the May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement for solution of long-standing problems faced by the Maktab-e-Tashayyo. Expressing complete solidarity with the independence movements going on the world over including that of Kashmir and Palestine the resolution, strongly condemned the Hindu and Zionist brutalities and bloodshed of oppressed Muslims in Held Kashmir and Palestine and called upon the United Nations to play its role in getting these brutalities stopped. Another resolution demanded ideological representation to Maktab-e-Tashayyo in all State departments on the basis of equality and give equal status to fiqhi books including Kutab-e-Arba’a and Nehjul Balagha also in the Education Department because according to 1973 Constitution, official religion of Pakistan is Islam that is commensurate with the Sunni and Shia Makatib, therefore, everyone should be given rights on the basis of equality and rights of no one should be encroached upon as it may create sense of deprivation and inferiority complex in them creating new problems. Therefore, the resolution said, justice should be done to all so as to truly represent the Basic Ideology. The Eid-ul Azha congregation expressed sympathies with the affected people of Tsunami and appealed the philanthropists to openly donate for them. END |
