RAWALPINDI: Allama Tajuddin Haideri, Central Vice-President of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan, while condemning the gory murder of educationist Prof. Tahir Hussain Naqvi has termed it an open act of terrorism.

Addressing the office-bearers in the office of TNFJ Regional Council Rawalpindi, he said Pakistan is the target of terrorism for the last two and a half decades and the gory murder of Prof. Tahir Hussain in Quetta is a continuation of incidents of terrorism going on in the country.

He expressed his concern that Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi was the target in the worst incident of Bari Imam that took place in Federal Capital Islamabad on 27th May. Soon after, terrorism incident at Masjid Madina-tul-Ilm in Karachi and various fatal attacks on religious leaders including murder attempt on Maulana Ahmed Madni in which his son was killed, and the martyrdom of Prof. Tahir Hussain Naqvi at Saryab Road Quetta on Monday are being carried out under the shadow of Anti-Terrorism Act which is highly condemnable.

Allama Haideri said, no religion allows terrorism rather considers murder of anyone as oppression. He expressed his concern that the government did not give any attention to Bari Imam Incident the proof of which is that no culprit of that incident was arrested and no Probe Tribunal was set up yet. Moreover, neither the bereaved families of Shuhada nor the injured were given any compensation so much so that no high government official including the President and the Prime Minister even bothered to condole their death contrary to the fact that they reach where they desire to reach themselves and even offer jobs to the bereaved families which is good but lacks justice on the basis of equality.

He demanded from the government to arrest the culprits of all incidents of terrorism forthwith including that of Bari Imam Incident, set up a broad-based Tribunal to probe these incidents and unveil the reasons behind these incidents before the public.

The TNFJ Vice-President said the best and liked religion is that of Islam which preaches tolerance and advises not only believers but also all human beings to promote tolerance. Allah is Arhamamurr Rahimeen (Most Merciful) and hates oppressors. The Holy Prophet (SAW) is Mercy to whole world, was the biggest justice, his uswah is the source of guidance for the whole universe, he used to give respect even to his enemies.

He said enemies of Islam carried out utmost oppression against him (SAW) on which his Makki and Madni life stands witness that aggression was carried out against him 105 times but he did not commit any aggression rather condemned and discouraged biasness and enmity. At the time of Makkah victory the enemy was shivering but he exercised large-heartedness and preached the lesson of tolerance.

Allama Haideri made it clear that Islam advises the leaders and guides to become soft, large-hearted, kind for general public and tolerant for enemies and opponents. Today the things are running in reverse. The whole world of humanity is confronted with terrorism the basic reason of which is we have not adopted these good habits; therefore, innocent people and children are being given bloodbath in Iraq after Afghanistan.

Things do not stop here, the fresh example of desecration of holy places in Iraq is that a few days ago, shrine of Abdullah bin Hassan Musanna, Maqam-e-Khizr, shrines of Al-Imam Al-Akhras and Imam As-Syed Farj were raised to ground through bombs.

He lamented that the international organisations were keeping silence over this oppression, providing food for thought to the whole world of humanity. He said we consider attack on any country and Maslak as an attack on the whole humanity. All States should not only condemn terrorism as the foremost priority but should also carry out practical struggle to root it out so as to make it a hub of peace.
