ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Aalamgir Youm-e-Shuhada-e-Bari Imam Incident (Universal Day of Bari Imam Incident Martyrs) was observed throughout the country with respect and dignity on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi with a pledge that those high objectives and targets for which the brave devotees laid down their life on the occasion of annual pursadari of Hazrat Bari Imam Kazmi Al-Mash'hadi would be protected and the holy blood of martyrs would never be allowed to go waste.

The main programme of the Alamgir Youm-e-Shuhada was held at the Darbar (shrine) of Hazrat Bari Imam in the Federal Capital Islamabad where Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi along with ulema and TNFJ elite attended the shrine of Hazrat Bari Sarkar.

Addressing on the occasion, Agha Moosavi said life is the name of belief and struggle and whatever work is done with sincerity of purpose and for the pleasure of Allah would be declared as worship, and Shahadat in its way is a blessing. He said there is a saying of the Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali (A.S.) that it makes no difference whether the death comes on me or I come over death; I love death that much that a child keeps with his mother’s milk.

He said I want to tell the whole world that wherever in the world there are human beings, they are our part and Muslims are the part of our body, no one could create rift amongst them. By making the Bari Sarkar my witness, I would like to resolve that no one will be allowed to create differences amongst Sunnis and Shias till I am alive. He said death has to come and according to a saying of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that Haq (truth) is with Ali (A.S.), therefore, we who follow Ali (A.S.) do not fear death, whether we are cut into pieces, hanged, buried alive, set on fire, and the substance of our body thrown in air, every particle of this substance would cry that Sunni-Shia are brethren to each other.

The TNFJ chief made it clear that we would continue supporting the oppressed and opposing and condemning the oppressors wherever they are in the world without any discrimination about Maslak, country and region keeping in line with our forefathers.

Paying homage to Shuhada of Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, holy places of Burasa, Baghdad, Kufa, Karbala, Samarra, Najaf-e-Ashraf, and incidents of Nishtar Park, Quetta, Tank, Hangu, Northern Areas, Bari Imam and earthquake victims, reiterated his resolve that neither our forefathers bargained nor we or our next generations would do so.

Later, he led the protest Matmi rally organised by Pursa Bari Imam Committee in line with the Alamgir Shuhada-e-Bari Imam incident.

The Matmi demonstrators were carrying banners and placards inscribed with different slogans and were raising vociferous slogans for the immediate arrest of the culprits of Bari Imam incident.

All Zuljinah and Alam processions taken out from Darbar Bari Imam were terminated at the shrine. Matmi Halqas (groups) coming from all over the country carried out heavy zanjeer-zani and Matamdari and paid pursa to Hazrat Bari Imam. Banners in huge number were erected by the TNFJ, MO, MSO, and Mukhtar Generation while jawans of Mukhtar Force and Ibrahim Scouts performed their duties along with District Administration officials and the heavy police contingent.

Participants of pursadari and Matmi organisations displayed exemplary discipline on this occasion. TNFJ District Islamabad President Allama Basharat Hussain Imami, and Convener of the Pursa Bari Imam Committee Allama Fakhar Abbas Abidi lauded and thanked the District Administration for their fool-proof arrangements.
