RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said giving terrorism Maktabi and sectarian colour is the biggest act of terrorism and enmity with Pakistan because a terrorist is only a terrorist and should be seen and tackled in the backdrop of the same.

This was stated by him while delivering his presidential address at the two-day high level meeting of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan which was attended by delegates from the four provinces including Azad Kashmir, Northern Areas and from abroad.

Important decisions were also made during the meeting viz. arrangements for Muharram which would be announced through a Press conference.

Agha Moosavi said that about a quarter century ago, a dictator after staging a coup had announced to turn Pakistan into a State of a particular Maktab which we challenged and thwarted his designs because motherland Pakistan came into being through combined sacrifices and is the fruit of joint struggle and no power on earth could divert it from the Nazria-e-Asaasi. He said under the Article 2 of Pakistan’s Constitution the official religion of the State is Islam and not a sect.

He said the prolonged era of dictatorship gifted Pakistan with heroin and Kalashnikov culture the consequences of which are being faced by the nation today in shape of terrorism. He said Article 30(3) of the Police Act 1861 was got amended through the Governor Punjab in that era to limit the Eid-e-Milad and Azadari programmes. Under that amendment an inspector and a magistrate was authorised to stop even 100 years old procession, he said adding that we launched an 8-month long agitation against these uncalled for restrictions and brought out Azadari processions without any licence. As a result of this agitation, he added, May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement came into being under which bringing out Azadari and Eid-e-Milad processions was guaranteed without any hurdle.

Agha Moosavi said Private Shariat Bill was introduced in the Senate on July 13, 1985 on the desire of Ziaul Haq which we rejected saying that there is no need of any controversial Shariat Bill in the presence of 1973 Constitution. He lamented that in 1986, 26 Imambargahs and mosques were set on fire during Shaam-e-Ghariban. He said on his return from Lahore, he announced to set up a protection cell MFP that is busy day and night today in every nook and corner of the country to protect Sha’air Allah without any discrimination laced with arms and Taqwa.

He said sons of brave mothers are also brave that is why this holy duty is being performed by Ummul Baneen WF in the Women’s Wing.

He said Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya is busy in achieving its pious goals by keeping faith in Allah instead of on foreign aid. We are live nation, followers of live people. He called upon the delegates to make MFP and other wings active for their survival and strength. He said this Tehreek belongs to those whose outfit is dusty but whose hearts are clean and pious. He said the wealthy people have nothing to do with religion, and those who follow it are poor but we have accepted poverty for the supremacy of the nation. However, this mission does not keep thirst for wealth, he added.

The TNFJ chief said that we are the offspring of braves, therefore, would neither encroach upon the trust of the nation nor would allow anyone to do so. He said our combined enemy is attacking us from all around; therefore, we would have to remain alert and recognise our friends and foes. He said politics is not a restricted tree rather is subservient to the religion and for us elections on the basis of sect and language is poisonous, and we support the Muhammadia (SAAW) and Alvia (A.S.) politics.

He made it clear in unequivocal terms that what is being reaped by the nation today was sowed by the political pundits doing practical politics from the sectarian platform. Stressing the need to make the Shoeb-e-Abi Talib beacon of light for the ongoing monetary crisis in Pakistan said the Muslim can neither die of hunger nor could beg from others. He said Meesaq-e-Madinah and Sulah-e-Hudaibia during the 63 years era of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) stands witness that Islam is the religion of peace and tranquillity.

Agha Moosavi said that 199-member United Nations came into being for achievement of human rights but it did not resolve any issues confronted by the oppressed or Muslims. Its resolutions for solution of Kashmir and Palestine issues bore no fruit, he added.

He said the atheist world is afraid of Islam therefore they desire to prove Islam as the religion of terrorists and punishments by hurling one accusation or the other. For this purpose, he added, western rulers and media committee blasphemy and desecration of Mashaheer-e-Islam and Sha’air Allah and published humiliating images in newspapers.

He said the TNFJ was the first to lodge protest against such activities that were still going on. He said the New York incident was a farce under the garb of which Afghanistan and Iraq were destroyed but, he added, Pakistan is the real target of colonial powers, therefore, the Islamic World should accept leadership of Pakistan and display practical unity because Pakistan being an atomic power is a mole in the eyes of colonial powers. He said there is duplicity in the words and deeds of the organisers of Inter-Religion Conferences because international colonial powers and their agents were themselves founders of terrorism. He said the dream of restoring international peace could not come true without the pullout of allied forces from Afghanistan, Iraq and other occupied areas.

The TNFJ chief said before initiating a debate on the recommendations of the Islamic Ideology Council there is need to make the Council representative because to-date the government has included their chosen persons in such institutions. He said there is lot of difference between being belonging to any Maktab or being a representative of any Maktab. He said the government should keep in mind that the government institutions could be made acceptable for all by taking representatives from the representative organisations of the recognised Makatib, therefore, he added, representative organisation of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo i.e. Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafairya should be given ideological representation in all government institutions.

Agha Moosavi strongly condemning the continued incidents of terrorism in Dera Ismail Khan termed it the heinous conspiracy of our perpetual enemy and called upon the people to understand her wickedness as she desires to pitch a brother against brother to as to fulfil her heinous desires.

He said the government herself was not satisfied with the steps taken to restore law and order in the country while the role of media was also not satisfactory. He said some newspapers and channels of the electronic media were promoting yellow journalism and were fond of promoting nudity, corruption and spreading fear and harassment as a result of which the graph of such activities was rising. He lamented some newspapers that boast of being the spokesmen of national desires were following the policy to push the Maktab-e-Tashayyo with wall but they should keep in mind that they do not reflect the desire of the people, therefore, they should adopt justifiable policy accepting the truth by reviewing the public opinion.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi commenting on the change as a result of ongoing terrorism the world over and change of top office as a result of American elections said that people the world over have nothing to do with Obama or Osama rather they desire restoration of peace and respect for humanity at all costs. In this connection, he added, the international organisations should play their role otherwise a revolution would drive everything away.

He called upon the government to take strict notice of the activities of banned groups so as to restore durable peace in the motherland because begging peace from the miscreants and rioters is a dream of non-sense people. He said people should also express hatred against such elements. He demanded to set up a high level Tribunal to initiate probe against those organisations and banned groups who gathered billions of rupees in the name of affected of earthquake and terrorism and have-nots as this heavy amount could help the country overcome financial crisis. Similarly, he said, the rulers and politicians should also bring back their money and assets from foreign countries.

Agha Moosavi made it clear that Azadari is our jugular vein, and we keep solidarity and integrity of the motherland supreme. He said the government should adopt courageous policy over American attacks in frontier region and raise this issue at the United Nations immediately. He resolved that the whole nation supports the Pakistan’s armed forces and would not hesitate in shedding her blood along side them for fulfilling their national duty.
