RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has termed the decision of reinstating Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry a victory of justice and fair-play.

In a statement issued here on Friday, he said the decision of the Full Bench of the Supreme Court is not a success, victory or defeat of any personality, party, government or opposition but supremacy of justice and fair-play. Everyone would have to cool down his desires and sentiments because the oppression and brutality can be rooted out, justice and fair-play can be promoted, rights can be achieved, and freedom and independence can prevail through decisions taken with wisdom.

Agha Moosavi said the government, the opposition and all other institutions should work by remaining within their limits because crossing the set limits creates crises. He said the government has displayed wisdom by accepting the decision of reinstatement of the Chief Justice. This decision, he added, carries a lesson for the people of this era and the future generations. We should not limit ourselves only to reinstatement of the Chief Justice rather the rulers, politicians, and all sections of society would have to give priority to justice and fair-play, trustworthiness, sincerity, and truthfulness over all other matters. He said the whole nation should offer thanks-giving prayers on the end of judicial crisis.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi made it clear that basis and reality of the religion of Islam is justice and fair-play and the whole universe rests on Qist-o-Adl (justice) on which the Ayah of Surah Younis stands witness: “Your Rabb does not carry out oppression against anyone”.

He said right from the beginning, the Representatives of Allah utilized all their energy in restoring justice and fair-play and rooting out oppression, brutality, and suppression. He said the whole world including Pakistan lack justice and fair-play owing to crises confronted by them.

Declaring Zuhd-o-Taqwa as the standard of supremacy, he said justice is most near to it. Therefore, Allah Says in Surah Maida: “Do justice as it is near to Taqwa”.
