ISLAMABAD, Pakistan : Quran Khwani and Majalis-e-Aza were organised by different religious organisations and Matmi associations in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Federal Capital Islamabad like other cities of the country on the second day of the 5-day mourning for martyrs of Bari Imam incident announced by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

The Pursa Bari Imam Committee of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya sent the bodies of the martyrs of the incident along with its special representatives to their respective areas. Arrangements are being made for those bodies that could not be recognised so far.

TNFJ District Islamabad President Allama Basharat Hussain Imami addressing an emergent meeting at Qasr-e-Khadijatul Kubra (A.S.) said the District Administration is in constant touch with them and we have directed the people to remain peaceful. Expressing shock over the irresponsible statements issued by some ruling circles after the incident, he said if the rulers are doing so then what could be said about others.

Allama Imami commenting on appeal made by President Pervez Musharraf to the nation to remain peaceful, said Gen. Musharraf should himself identify which political parties including the ruling party have included the banned groups in their ranks. He said an Enquiry Commission should be appointed to probe why that big an incident took place in the Federal Capital Islamabad despite the fact that Protest Day was being observed against the desecration of Holy Quran and TNFJ had also announced protest in this connection, but the media committed dishonesty in this respect also.

Thanking newspapers, TV channels and news agencies for cooperating on the occasion of Bari Imam incident, he condemned the Geo News policy for not telecasting news issued by Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya announcing 5-day mourning of the Bari Imam incident despite seeking their attention repeatedly. Strongly condemning the use of “Kal-Adam” (banned) in the news about Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, while covering the Bari Imam incident on their TV channel, he made it clear that there is no restriction on the TNFJ and it is the only representative organisation of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo.

He said the Majlis-e-Aza programme on the Bari Imam shrine is being held since before Indo-Pak Partition and Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi used to address here since the last 20 years arrangement of which is entrusted to TNFJ District Islamabad but it is tragic that despite announcement of 5-day mourning of the incident, Geo TV did not announce it rather slides containing announcements from the banned organisations working with new names were run that tantamount to tearing apart President Pervez Musharraf’s Anti-Terrorism Act.

He said a policy is being pursued under a planned conspiracy to push the Maktab-e-Tashayyo to the wall in all State departments including the media.

Allama Imami said the government should be thankful to us that we kept the nation, which had took over the Secretariat, peaceful and in control after such a big incident while we were able to do what we can but we keep the religion and the motherland dear than every other thing.

He said the government should exercise wisdom and do not force us to give any big line of action.

A programme of Quran Khwani to mourn the Bari Imam incident was organised by Hay’at Tulaba Islamia that followed Majlis-e-Aza and Matamdari.

Funeral prayer of Syed Nazim Hussain Shah who kissed martyrdom in the Bari Imam incident was offered in Mauza Mehmooda Syedan Sub-Tehsil Chak Beli Khan. Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi’s representative Syed Mohsin Al-Hussaini led the prayer.

Addressing the gathering on the occasion he said martyrdom is desired by every Momin. The Azadaran kissing martyrdom during the Majlis-e-Aza were lucky to get the path of Hussain (A.S.). Expressing condolences to the elder son of the martyr, Syed Nazir Hussain Kazmi and other members of the bereaved family on behalf of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi, he prayed for the highest rewards for the martyr.

A resolution moved by Mukhtar Students Organisation leader Syed Mazahir Imran Kazmi on the occasion demanded from the government to arrest the culprits of the Bari Imam incident forthwith and give them exemplary punishment. The resolution reiterated the participants’ resolve to follow every line of action given by the Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi and would not hesitate in offering any sacrifice on his desire.

Two martyrs belonging to District Bhakkar Syed Khizr Abbas and Mukhtar Hussain were buried in their native villages of Nautak and Mauza Barmi. Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi’s special representative Allama Agha Ali Hussain Najafi led the funeral prayer.
