RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi while terming end of emergency and restoration of constitution 'good omen' has stressed upon political powers to urge successful holding of elections as well as its transparency instead of wailing in order to move the motherland on the path of democracy.

He made his remarks while delivering presidential address to a high-level meeting of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan.

Delegates from federal capital Islamabad, all the four provinces, Azad Kashmir and Northern areas participated in the meeting.

The meeting reviewed and took decisions regarding situation prevailing in the country, important national and international matters, and the upcoming month of Muharram-ul Haram besides approving policy in light of TNFJ political cell report to use right of vote in general elections to be held on Jan 8, 2008.

The same will be declared through a news conference.

In his address, Agha Moosavi said official results of the elections, to be held just before beginning of Muharram, must be announced immediately; any delay therein will be considered interference in Muharram; similarly winning and losing parties and candidates should take the honour and dignity of Muharram in consideration, he added.

He directed TNFJ Political Cell to get clear stance of political parties and candidates, who contacted to achieve support, regarding TNFJ's Charter of Demand forthwith.

Analyzing the ongoing situation in the country, the TNFJ chief said had all departments worked keeping them in constitutional limits then there would have been no state of emergency. All tried to bring each other low owing to this the country had to face political crisis. He advised that constitutional amendments like issues should be left for the coming parliament.

Giving review on the current constitutional amendments, he said there is nothing new; same has been done in different periods and everyone had accepted it for interests of all were linked with it. Therefore no one had demanded Zia-ul Haq to take-off uniform rather accepted ministries by becoming a part of Matial-lawi Shura.

He said had personal interests were not kept dearer then neither there would have been judiciary problems, bans on media nor the country would have been organize chaleeswan of emergency.

He stressed that holding of elections is indispensable in every condition; otherwise onus of any kind of situation will be on the shoulders of politicians. He said a specific stratum is set over government and opposition which has external blessing, that is why thieves are being presented as sharif (nobles). They have been enjoying rule since long and people are becoming poor to poorer.

Expressing concern on dearness, he said as a bag of flour is being sold for 2,500 RS in Parachinar the responsibility of this crisis goes to the shoulders of the past government. Therefore the care-taker government should take steps to make the oncoming elections transparent and just, get the people rid of dearness, release all political prisoners including people from legal and media communities, and do justice with judiciary because lawyers are respectable; Mufakkir-e-Pakistan and Bani-e-Pakistan (thinker and founder of Pakistan) belonged to this holy profession.

He further advised that mutual understanding should be adopted for permanent restoration of peace and security in sensitive areas because war also ends on negotiation.

Moosavi said those who announced to boycott or take part in elections are working on indications of an unseen power. They should work for Islam, Pakistan and people by making patriotism their imani she'aar, he added saying that the world is for a few days; here we should live in such a manner that people long to meet us and when we die, they keep remember us.

The TNFJ chief said American defense secretary's indication to US army for direct action in Pakistan to eradicate terrorists is flat interference, therefore the government of Pakistan should raise this issue in United Nations and make clear that Pakistan played front-line role against terrorism. To enter foreign armies here is tantamount to an attack on our integrity and independence which is not acceptable. He said international community should openly condemn this statement of US defense secretary by taking notice of it. In this regard, Pakistan's neighboring friendly states should also play their role, he added.

Moosavi reiterated his resolve to keep continue his peaceful practical struggle for defense of faith and motherland, and achievement of rights. No bargaining will be done in this connection, he added.

Heads of Tehreek's central and subsidiary departments and delegates presented their reports in the meeting.

TNFJ's central Azadari Cell was formed in the meeting to supervise arrangements of Muharram-ul Haram. Syed Shujaat Ali Bukhari, Sardar Mumtaz Qazilbash, Alaa Haider and Syed Bu Ali Mehdi have been nominated its convener, deputy convener, secretary and joint secretary respectively.
