RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: To mark the Wiladat Ba Saadat of Hazrat Syeda Zainab binte Ali (S.A.), the functions of country-wide Ayyam-e-Hurmat-e-Niswan (Days of Dignity of Women) observed on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi ended with honour and respect.

Mahafil-e-Milad, conferences and seminars were organised by religious organisations and institutions in all small and big cities and towns of all the four provinces including Federal Capital Islamabad, Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas.

Ulema, waizeen, presented homage to Khanwada Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.) and highlighted the seerat of Hazrat Syeda Zainab (S.A.) declaring the uswah of Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) as best example to follow to root out oppression and brutality against the oppressed nations and the Islamic World in the present era.

A Mehfil-e-Hurmat-e-Niswan was held at Ali Hall Rawalpindi under the auspices of Hay’at Tulaba-e-Islamia. TNFJ Balochistan leader Sardar Tariq Ahmed Jafri, Syed Amjad Ali Naqvi President TNFJ District Kasur, TNFJ Khairpur Miras leader Haider Abbas Zaidi and MFP leader Mirza Aurangzeb were guests of honour while Allama Shaikh Ijaz Hussain Modarres, Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, Maulana Tabassum Abbas Kazmi, Jone Ali Mashadi, Arif Al-Hussaini, Ali Zeb, Shahzad Hussain Sanadi, Khurshid Haider Jawwadi and Baqir Hussain Naqvi addressed the gathering.

A resolution unanimously adopted on the occasion said that at present the whole world was in the grip of terrorism and as per a saying of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Hamid Moosavi, there is no Maslaki or Maktabi conflict throughout the world including Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan while on the contrary international powers desire so.

It said that the Maraje Uzzam, and patriotic elements in Iraq have thwarted the colonial conspiracy to declare incidents of terrorism as acts of sectarian conflicts through their mutual unity and brotherhood and they would face the same treatment in future also because the Sunni-Shia people of Iraq are united.

The resolution expressed concern that efforts are also being made to declare terrorism going on for the last 25 years in motherland Pakistan as sectarian conflicts. It said there is need for all schools of thought to understand that conspiracy and recognise their friends and foes. Whether it is Nishtar Park incident, or incidents of Bari Imam, Tank, Hangu or the murder of Allama Fazil Alvi and Maulana Maula Bux Jafri, it is all a continuation of conspiracy of the combined enemy.

It demanded from the government to release all innocent people arrested in connection with the Nishtar Park incident and arrest the real terrorists instead who were roaming about with new names. The resolution said that we support the oppressed and express hatred against oppressors while our practical struggle for supporting the oppressed and have-nots would continue.

Allama Mohsin Ali Hamdani, Allama Basharat Hussain Imami, Maulana Iqbal Hussain Shah, Allama Saqlain Bokhari, Allama Sadiqi, and Maulana Syed Mumtaz Hussain Naqvi addressed similar gatherings at Qasr-e-Abu Talib, Qasr-e-Khadijatul Kubra, Markazi Shia Jamia Masjid, Darbar Shah Chan Chiragh, Qasr-e-Zainab Kamalabad, Jamia Masjid Jafaria Islamabad, and Masjid and Imambargah Jagir Ali Akbar.
