He said the springs of Islam everywhere are under obligation to these holy personalities (AS).

A resolution adopted on this occasion, demanded from the government to implement 11 Shia Demands existing on the agenda of May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement. To exert pressure on the Saudi government for reconstruction of Jannatul Baqee is one of 11 Shia Demands.

The resolution said that if the government and journalistic institutions could show diligence, ardour and earnestness for the construction of the tomb of Maulana Zafar Ali Khan then why they are silent and mum regarding the reconstruction of the shrines of The Master of two worlds (SAW)’s beloved daughter The Mistress of the Ladies of the Paradise Hazrat Sayidah Fatimah Zahra (SA), The family of Ahl-e-Bait-e-At’har (AS), Ummahatul Momineenm (RA) and Companions of Prophet (SAW)? – In the same cemetery of Jannatul Baqee, the grave of Hazrat Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) is demolished for the last 76 years.
