ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: As soon as the Zuljinah (markab of Imam
Hussain AS) was taken out after Majlis-e-aza, he with weeping eyes
stood in front of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah
Moosavi; he bowed down his head to signify his grief; ‘Ya Hussain
wavela … khali aya zuljinah’ were the chants being chanted by every

world including Pakistan.
He paid tribute to the Shia-Sunni brethren in Peshawar who foiled
the enemy’s conspiracy through unity and took out the procession

rather his Qayam was for demolition of oppression and barbarism, and
survival of Divine principles and Shariat-e-Muhammadi, that is why
every conscious person is thankful to Hussaain ibne Ali (AS).
A resolution demanded from the government to get load-shedding of

Federal Interior Ministry, Punjab, Balochistan and Sarhad on the

established then publicize the same through notification.
