RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Allama Tajuddin Haideri, Central Vice-President of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya has called upon the government to take the public representatives and Tulaba Action Committee into confidence instead of banking on “Munpasand” (self-favourite) Committees to restore durable peace and life in Gilgit and oust the defeated banned groups from the committees formed at government level.

Moreover, he said, all patriotic circles, government and opposition should practically express their hatred against these groups while media should avoid giving coverage to such elements that introduced the menace of terrorism to the nation and the country with new names.

He stated this while addressing the office-bearers in the office of TNFJ District Council Rawalpindi.

Allama Haideri said the basic reason of worsening the situation in Northern Areas in the past was electoral politics from the sectarian platform that created hatred and biases and an unseen hand taking advantage of this situation made such changes in the educational curricula which were unbearable for all recognised schools of thought because no honourable Muslim could bear blasphemy against the Holy Prophet (SAW). He said not only this but Shia students were pressed to study curriculum contrary to their beliefs as a result of which Tulaba Action Committee came into existence.

He said there are some black sheep in the Administration that preferred violence instead of taking stock of the situation and listening to the woes of the protestors owing to which the situation worsened further instead of becoming better.

Stressing the need of implementation of directions by the President Pervez Musharraf to stop operation in Northern Areas and that Vice-Chief of the Army Staff and the Administration lay security plan jointly, he demanded that all schools of thought including the Tulaba Action Committee should be taken into confidence in planning to restore peace while Probe Tribunal should be set up to investigate the incidents.

Demanding immediate release of the arrested students, he reiterated his resolve to display exemplary spirit of sacrifice and forbearance to promote mutual brotherhood and understanding for the development, stability and defence of the religion and the motherland.

Alhaj Ghulam Murtaza Chauhan, President TNFJ District Council Rawalpindi, in his address on the occasion said workers of TNFJ District Rawalpindi are ever ready to offer all types of sacrifice on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi to achieve pious targets of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya.
