By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: An important meeting of Supreme Council of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan held here on Friday. Chief of the Tehreek Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, presided over the meeting. Delegates from all the four provinces of the country including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas as well as from outside the country participated in the meeting.

Important national and international matters, particularly the law and order situation and arrangements for oncoming month of Muharramul Haram were discussed and important decisions were taken which will be announced by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Syed Hamid Moosavi through a Press conference. Heads of central and subordinate bodies of the Tehreek and provincial and district delegates presented their reports.

Agha Moosavi in his presidential address expressed his grave concern over law and order situation prevailing in the sensitive areas of the country and called upon the government to restrict active politics on sectarian, maktab and lingual basis throughout the country including Northern Areas because this trend confronted the country and the nation with terrorism and unrest.

He said we are stick to our principled stand to-date that seeking vote on sectarian basis is poisonous and God forbid that election are held on Sunni-Shia basis here because this country was not created in the name of any sect but in the name of Islam the proof of which is that the official religion of the country is Islam and not any particular sect.

He said the government has banned those extremist groups that have promoted active politics on sectarian and maktab basis but, he said, it is a matter of concern that those banned groups have become active again and government, opposition and the media encourage them. He said man never goes back on his word. Giving protocol by different means to the groups that had been declared banned, what does this mean?

The TNFJ chief made it clear that TNFJ is the only Tehreek in the world that has no support from any government, opposition or any foreign State rather it enjoys the blessings and special support of Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) and it is working on self-help basis for achieving its pious targets. He said the TNFJ considers politics subservient to Shariat and active politics on sectarian basis is tantamount to inviting death in our sight. However, he said, TNFJ Political Cell exists for the guidance of followers of Maktab-e-Tashayyo that would, like in the past, would formulate an honourable election policy on the occasion of general elections.

Agha Moosavi said we are enemies of the oppressors and are supporters of the oppressed, that is why we have declared all those who lost their life in Gilgit incident as piece of our heart because helping him in oppression who belongs to us is bias while the oppressor does not belong to us, helping the oppressor is stopping him from oppression so that he may earn something good in the Hereafter. He called upon the residents of Northern Areas, without any discrimination, to get themselves rid of sectarian-politico elements and express their hatred against the banned groups so that problems and difficulties faced by them are wiped out.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi said the international colonial powers are busy in hatching heinous conspiracy of dividing the Muslim States into sects and in this connection, all Islamic States including Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan are their target. Therefore, the Muslim and the oppressed nations have to exercise patience and wisdom to thwart this conspiracy.

He called upon the government to give rights to all recognised schools of thought including the Maktab-e-Tashayo on the basis of equality to stabilise the democratic institutions and restoring durable peace in the country. He also called upon the government to resolve all issues with mutual understanding for a bright democratic future and in it lay the key to welfare of the country and the nation and stability of the democratic institutions. He made it clear that no one will be allowed to cause any harm to the mission of Wila-e-Ali (A.S.) and Aza-e-Hussain (A.S.) come what may.
