ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The “Protest Day” on the occasion of Ashra-e-Beemar-e-Karbala was observed against Samarra tragic incident and Israeli terrorism and brutality on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i- Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi on Wednesday.

Peaceful protest demonstrations were organized, Majalis were held and Matmi processions were taken out in all big and small cities and towns of the country. Strong protest demonstrations were also organized in the Federal Capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi. These demonstrations, among others, were led by Acting M.O. Central Secretary Ajmal Hassan Naqvi, Secretary General Haider Abbas Bajwa, Qazi Wafa Abbas, Muhammad Abbas Baloch, Malik Salman Haideri, Assad Ali Hasani, Mustansar Naqvi, Mufti Basim Abbas Zahiri, Allama Mohsin Ali Hamdani, Allama Fakhar Abbas Abidi, Allama Arif Al-Hussaini, Malik-e-Ashtar and other leaders.

The demonstrators were carrying protest banners and placards inscribed with slogans against Samarra tragic incident and Israeli aggression and brutality. The demonstrators performed Seena-Zani and raised slogans against the destruction of Holy Shrine of Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) and Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) and held the satanic powers responsible for Israeli aggression against unarmed Palestinians, and ongoing incidents of terrorism all over the world including Iraq and Afghanistan and desecration of holy places.

A resolution presented by Muhammad Abbas Baloch was adopted by the demonstrators which said that if we had followed the commandments of Allah and sayings of the Holy Prophet (SAAW) then the chief of the colonial powers would neither have targeted us by terming us extremists in the garb of 9/11, would not have the courage to destruct Babri Masjid and other holy places nor Israeli would have the courage to play ‘holi’ with the blood of innocent Palestinians.

The resolution said had some Muslim States not adopted aggressive policy by wiping out the signs of Jannatul Mo'alla, Jannatul Baqee and some mausoleums of holy personalities then the international terrorist would not have the courage to destruct the Holy Shrines of holy personalities in Iraq.

The resolution expressed concern that we ourselves are responsible for such a situation and now the atheists have gone to the extent to use new tactics to overcome us while blasphemy by them has become the order of the day. The resolution said that despite there are 57 Islamic States and an organization like OIC, they are keeping criminal silence which poses an open challenge to the honour and dignity of the Islamic World.

The resolution said that three years have passed when the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) and Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) were destructed. The resolution demanded from the United Nations, ICC, OIC and all the world organizations of human rights to ensure reconstruction of these holy shrines.

The resolution while condemning aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir and Israeli attacks on Hamas declared it an attack and naked aggression against humanity. The resolution expressed solidarity with the oppressed and have-nots and posed a question that why all this is happening only against Muslims?

The resolution made it clear that Pakistan has condemned Mumbai attacks but even then our perpetual enemy was hurling threats on us taking undue advantage of our gentlemanliness. The resolution said whether India would accept responsibility of all incidents that took place in Pakistan right from the beginning?

The resolution demanded from the newly elected American President Barak Hussain Obama to pullout forces from Iraq and Afghanistan forthwith and get the Kashmir and Palestinian issues resolved, particularly he should get the Drone missile attacks stopped at once because Pakistan has played the role of front-line ally of America in war against terror. The demonstrators resolved that their eternal protest in shape of Azadari against oppression and brutality would continue till Zahoor-e-Mahdi (A.S.).
