ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Majalis-e-Aza continued in all small and big cities, town and villages of the country on the second day of Ayyam-e-Aza Thursday in connection with the death anniversary of Hazrat Ghazi Abbas Alamdar’s (A.S.) mother, Hazrat Ummul Baneen (R.A.), on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

While addressing Majalis-e-Aza organised by various religious and Matmi organisations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Ulema, waizeen, and zakireen paid rich homage to the courage, boldness, patience and forbearance of Hazrat Ummaul Baneen (R.A.) and highlighted on her pious life in detail.

TNFJ Secretary General Syed Mazhar Ali Shah Advocate addressing a Majlis-e-Aza at Imambargah Alamdar said Hazrat Ummul Baneen (R.A.) is from amongst those great mothers whose sons were martyred in Karbala. He expressed his concern that at present the whole world was under the grip of terrorism. Massacre and arson was already rife in Kashmir and Palestine, after which Afghanistan and Iraq were also destructed. The objective of terrorism all over the world including Pakistan is to get oppressed and Muslim nations declared as extremists and terrorists under a colonial conspiracy and planning.

He said, a Republican Congressman from American State of Colorado, Tom Tancredo in an interview to Florida Radio Station last Friday had said that if terrorists carry out nuclear attack on America then the US could take out the holy places of Muslims. When the host asked that by that he mean Makkah? He replied in affirmation. He repeated these utterances on Fox Television on Tuesday and refused to apology.

Mazhar Ali Advocate said this proves that like New York and Washington incidents, a heinous conspiracy is also behind the London incidents. Bush has continued massacre in Afghanistan and Iraq in the garb of New York incident ignoring the protest the world over and now Tony Blair is increasing pressure on Muslims rather on Pakistan as this all has been done by Pakistan?

He asked Bush and Tony Blair that if Muslims were culprits of New York and London incidents then would they accept that they are responsible for terrorism in other States including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Iraq? If this is not so, then why Muslim World is being considered as culprit.

The TNFJ Secretary General said, at this juncture, not only the United Nations and the ICC but also all Muslim rulers will have to exercise wisdom so as to prove that we, like before, strongly condemn all types of terrorism and we consider that a terrorist is only a terrorist and connecting him with any country and faith is itself terrorism.

He said President Pervez Musharraf has played a front-line role for rooting out terrorism, introduced an Anti-Terrorism Act and restricted some extremist terrorist groups but the situation continued to worsen and incidents of terrorism continued increasing under international conspiracy.

He expressed his astonishment on announcement of a country-wide protest against banned groups by the government on Friday by a party despite the fact that the same party has her own government in one of the provinces and is a part of government on some other places, therefore, the protest call seems to be uncalled for. He said if they are really sincere then all their members of the Parliament should quit then the nation would believe that they keep real pain of the nation.

He strongly protested that at some places workers of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya were arrested without any reason and they are being harassed at some places contrary to the banned elements that were roaming about freely. He demanded immediate release of innocent people and demanded to tackle the real culprits with an iron hand.

Allama Basharat Imami addressed the second Majlis-e-Aza of Ayyam-e-Aza at Imambargah Qasr-e-Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) Tarlai Kalan followed by Matamdari.
