ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari, Additional Secretary General of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan, has said that Islam is the religion of peace, tranquillity, integrity, and respect for mankind and the real follower of it is the one from whose tongue and hand, the followers of religion and Shariat remain safe and the Momin (believer) is the one who is the protector and defender of the honour, dignity, blood, life and wealth of all and sundry.

He was addressing the office-bearers of Matmiyan Trust (Registered) here on Tuesday. He said oppression and brutality, coercion and violence, extremism and terrorism are contrary to the teachings of Islam and sayings of the Holy Prophet (SAW). By following the Islamic teachings we can establish a pious society not only within us but also within the whole world in which there would be a soft corner for one another.

The TNFJ Additional Secretary General said today trend of enmity and terrorism is witnessed all around, the basic reason of which is lack of Islamic teachings. The human blood is cheap in Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq. Pakistan is confronted with terrorism for the last two and a half decades and the 27 May Bari Imam incident in Federal Capital Islamabad has shattered the whole country. This incident was the most tragic in history of incidents in Pakistan and carried along a tragic story of human massacre as a result of which innocent Matmis who were busy in worship were given a bloodbath which grieved every one because massacre of Muslims in religious gatherings is not liked by anyone.

He said Muslim and non-Muslim politicians, powers that be and personalities from different sections of society including Maraje Ozzam and United Nations Secretary General had expressed their condolences to TNFJ on the Bari Imam incident but some particular groups of Maktab-e-Tashayyo were not grieved and this unveiled their real face and exposed their hypocrisy. Now the nation is under obligation to recognize these enemies who did nothing but polishing their politics on corpses and amassing funds in the name of martyrs within and without the country, made property, and bought palaces like houses, vehicles and cars. He said these so-called cliques who had nothing to eat and wear yesterday were living a lavish life today and there is no restriction on their going abroad. They are seen with big bellies on the basis of aid participating in government forums, opposition programmes and public and private electronic media. He said President Pervez Musharraf should check these sour truths.

Bokhari made a fervent appeal to the nation that it should now understand, as a saying of Hazrat Imam Khomeini the outfits of so-called champions of religion dressed in amaem (turbans), Abaas and Jubbas (long gowns) should be snatched.

He said the rulers are under the obligation to exercise wisdom and take concrete steps to check such gory incidents and avoid delaying tactics regarding Bari Imam incident. He said as per saying of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Hamid Moosavi issuing Fatwa by government ulema against suicide attacks only within Pakistan a few days prior to Bari Imam Incident and making us target of terrorism soon after provides food for thought to nation’s intelligentsia. It seems that government desires to push us with the wall instead of fulfilling her obligation to avoid such policies that may cause any harm to any school of thought or encroaches upon their rights. Putting weight in one side by the rulers will not only give birth to new problems rather could cause further tragic incidents.

He said that in July 7 London blasts whether any harm was caused to the British government or not however it caused harm to the oppressed nations and Muslim people living there. The rot has begun and no one could be able to compensate the loss.

He said the same story was repeated in the shape of Washington-New York incident in the garb of which all that is going on in Afghanistan and Iraq is enough to realize and give understanding.

Bokhari said the Matmiyan-e-Millat are the national asset and we could not be suppressed or sidelined from the righteous path in the garb of such incidents. He reiterated his resolve that they are ever-ready to sacrifice their life for the mission of Azadari and achievement of rights.

Syed Ghulam Shabbir Naqvi, President Matimiyan Trust, reiterated his resolve to support any call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi for the mission of ‘Wila’ and ‘Aza’.
