RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that restoration of Chief Justice Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and other judges is the good news for the nation and the country.

This was stated by him while addressing the concluding function of Universal Hafta Wahdat-o-Akhuwwat on the occasion of Wiladat Ba-Sa’adat of Hazrat Umm-e-Kulsoom Binte Ali (S.A.) here on Monday.

He said the basis of the religion rests on justice and fair-play and the purpose of Ba’asat of Anbia and Mursaleen was also the same, therefore, he added, they remained confronted with the oppressor and tyrant rulers of their respective era. He said it is settled that the righteousness and truth has to prevail and the lie and evil has to die their own death. He said motherland Pakistan was also created for the supremacy of justice and fair-play.

Agha Moosavi said lack of justice and fair-play had been the reason behind all crises the world over and all problems faced by Pakistan. He said restoration of the judiciary in the holy month of Rabi-ul-Awwal and at the conclusion of Universal Hafta Wahdat-o-Akhuwwat is a good omen. The practical display of unity and brotherhood displayed by the nation is laudable, he added. He said the restoration of judges is not the victory of any personality or party but that of justice and fair-play. In this connection, he said, all sections of society including the government and the opposition would have to exercise wisdom. He said the lawyers’ community and the whole nation deserve greetings on this occasion. He said now the foremost responsibility lay on the judiciary because the powerful section of society gets justice but it would be amazing if the vulnerable the poor get justice, the fact which is also stressed upon by Islam.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi said that once upon a time one person stayed with Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talilb (A.S.) as a guest for many days and he became well known to him. After a long time that person became a party in a case and he desired to stay with him but Maula Ali (A.S.) refused to host him by saying that he is a party in this case. That is why there is a saying of the Hazoor-e-Akram (SAAW) that: Ali you are the best judge. He said according to a saying of the Holy Prophet (SAAW) Hazrat Ali (A.S.) is the Chief Justice of the world of judiciary therefore the character of Ali (A.S.) would have to be adopted so as to promote justice and fair-play because the life-style of Ali (A.S.) is the death of oppression and brutality and eternal life of justice and fair-play.

Agha Moosavi said that Dukhtar of Ali (A.S.) and Batool (S.A.) Hazrat Umm-e-Kulsoom (S.A.) gave a new lease of life to justice and fair-play and defeated oppression and brutality through her addresses which she delivered in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad.
