RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Syed Mazhar Ali Shah Advocate, Secretary General, Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan has strongly condemned the American attacks on the frontier areas of Pakistan and said that American attacks soon after the assurance given by American Army Chief Mike Molin to respect Pakistan’s sovereignty is duplicity of American words and deeds. Addressing the TNFJ International Ayyam-e-Aza Committee meeting, he said America is actually following a dual policy. He said the whole world including America should keep in mind that issues are not resolved through war but through dialogue and mutual understanding. He said America has ridiculed herself by carrying out missile attacks; she could not win the war through such attacks and by creating anarchy.

Syed Mazhar Ali Shah said that the rulers and the politicians should give priority to the larger national interest over their personal and party gains, recognise their friends and foes, keep faith in Allah Who can root out Abraha’s lashkar through Ababeels. He said the New York incident was merely a drama and a colonial conspiracy against the Islamic World and Pakistan and the oppressed nations and the Islamic World should take a lesson from it because America is not a friend of anyone rather she is stinging Muslims in the garb of friends. He said the whole nation is by the side of Pakistan’s armed forces for the sake of country’s defence and would not hesitate in giving any sacrifice in doing so.

Sardar Asghar Ali Jeo, Convener of the International Ayyam-e-Aza Committee addressing the meeting said that Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza (A.S.) was the first inheritor of Rasool (SAAW) and every one recognises the Fazail and Munaqib of this Khalifa-e-Rashid and great personality. He said the motherland has the honour of introducing the biggest award of Nishan-e-Haider that is the symbol of courage and bravery. He called upon the government to make special arrangements during the Majalis and Matmi processions to be organised throughout the country in connection with the Shahadat of Hazrat Ali (A.S.). He called upon the print and electronic media to highlight the seerat and character of Maula-e-Kainaat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) because Maula Ali (A.S.) is not the Imam of any particular country, Maslak or an area rather is the Imam of Jinn-o-Ins as per a saying of Imam Shafa’aee. He said the pious life of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali (A.S.) is the best example for the human beings the world over to follow and devotion for Ali (A.S.) is the condition of Iman. He said the Youm-e-Shahadat of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) will be observed from 19-21 Ramazan throughout the country as “International Ayyam-e-Aza” with devotion and respect.
