RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the responsibility of all incidents of terrorism including Bari Imam lays on Muslim League (Q) Prime Ministers.

He stated this while addressing the TNFJ central office-bearers here on Tuesday. He said the international colonial powers and their agents were exerting pressure on Islamic world and motherland Pakistan that came into being in the name of Islam under a well thought out plan the purpose of which is to divert Pakistan from Basic Ideology that could only be possible when anarchy is created and biases are promoted. He said incidents of terrorism one after the other are a part of that thinking.

Agha Moosavi said Gen. Ziaul Haq played a key role in promoting colonial heinous plans and utilised all his energies to make Pakistan a State of particular thought that gave birth to terrorism the outcome of which is being confronted by the nation today because he wanted to thrust his own particular ideology on the people of the whole country contrary to the principles of Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal. While Islam not only cares for rights of all rather displays broad sightedness and toleration which means that a man should not impose his ideologies on others rather all have right to follow their own beliefs and ideologies with freedom.

He asserted Maktab-e-Tashayyo has equal contribution in creation of Pakistan, its decoration, development and defence, but Ziaul Haq and his remnants made us their target. He said that after termination of General Musharraf’s chief executive office, Prime Ministers of Muslim League (Q) government Jamali, Shujaat and Shaukat Aziz also adopted biased attitude with Maktab-e-Tashayyo. The responsibility of Quetta, Karachi, Gilgit, Lahore incidents and the biggest incident in federal capital - Bari Imam - lay on these Prime Ministers.

Hamid Moosavi said it is not enough for becoming a Prime Minister of people to take a child in his lap at a utility store and get this scene saved in the eye of camera, rather it is necessary for it to solve problems of poor people, remedy their pains and heal their wounds instead of sprinkling salt on it.

The TNFJ chief made it clear that we give priority to the ideology and motherland and interests of people on every occasion not because we are pushed towards the wall considering us fourth class citizens, we have rendered equal sacrifices but we also consider it a sin to violate rights of others. He advised the government not to take trial of our patience.

He called upon President Pervez Musharraf to take notice of incidents taking place day in and day out and why we are being made target of the same? He should also trace that why government is still inactive despite passage of martyrs’ Chehlum, why Tribunal is not being set up, and why culprits are not being arrested. He said Ministers issued wrong statements that could be beneficial for our combined enemy.

Moreover, the government did not pay the damages to the bereaved families of martyrs and the injured. He posed a question to the President that why this hostile attitude towards us?

He said all powers should keep in mind that there was no sectarianism in Pakistan before, it is not today and would never be in future. This country is joint inheritance of all schools of thought i.e. Sunnis, Shias, Brelvis, Deobandis, Ahle Hadis and even minorities. Being a Pakistani no citizen is superior to the other, that’s why as it is joint inheritance of all similarly its protection is also the joint responsibility of us all. He said terrorism should not be connected with any Maslak or a country rather it should be seen in the backdrop of terrorism alone.

Agha Moosavi said Maktab-e-Tashayyo has equal right on electronic, print, internet media like other State department but it is tragic that coverage was not given to the biggest public gathering and peaceful rally in the last 25 years held in the Federal Capital Islamabad on the occasion of Universal Chehlum of Bari Imam martyrs which is condemnable.

Expressing regrets over the government’s hostile attitude, he asked the powers that be to give up hypocritical biased attitude against the Maktab-e-Tashayyo.

He said we give time to the government to think. Hope she would exercise wisdom and seriousness because nation and the motherland are already confronted with a host of problems and we do not desire to create new problems, but we would not also give up our rights.

Moosavi advised the whole nation to exercise patience, wait by giving preference to peace and tranquillity over all, we have sworn that would not let blood of martyrs to go waste. Martyr regardless of their maktab and maslak are part of us and sons of Pakistan. He said broad sightedness is the main feature of Islamic and human civilization and moral. Creator of the Universe has made clear to human being good and evil and left him free to adopt any path. Allah says We have told every human being both paths of right and wrong, it’s up to him to adopt path of good by paying thanks or the evil by doing unthankful-ness. At another place He says:

Say truth is from your Lord, now he who desires should believe, and he who desires deny.

He said there is no coercion and compulsion in religion. If Allah had to impose coercive faith and ideology, there was no need to send Prophets and Messengers. He said Allah has made clear the difference of guidance and darkness on the basis of proof, and left it on a human being by creating him free to adopt whatever he wants – path of guidance or the darkness. Holy Prophet (SAW) was told:

Your task is only to convey truth, and not to impose it

Even, in case of infidels, tolerance was taught, therefore Prophets and Messengers worked with toleration and forgiveness on every occasion bearing sufferings of infidels.

He said Pakistani rulers have spent all their energies for self-recognition that is not fair and total injustice. He said we have always raised Kalma-e-Haq in the interest of the nation and the country, we don’t keep personal friendship or enmity rather Islam, Pakistan and people are the standard of our friendship or enmity.
