Majalis-e-Aza were organised and Taboot processions taken out on this occasion. Like other cities of the country, ulema and zakireen highlighted the seerat and character of Amirul Momineen (A.S.) while addressing Majalis-e-Aza at different Imambargahs and Aza-Khwanas in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Addressing Subh-e-Gham Majlis at Ali Masjid, Satellite Town, Allama Muhammad Ali Haleemi said Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza (A.S.) has the singular honour to be born in Ka’aba and being placed on the pedestal of Shahadat in mosque. He said Ali (A.S.) enjoys highest standards as far as bravery, generosity, justice and fair-play are concerned while he spent all his life in defending the life of Paighambar-e-Islam (SAW), and message of Tauheed-o-Risalat. The whole world could not present any one like him, he added.

The TNFJ Central leader, Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi while addressing an annual Majlis at Masjid-e-Jafariya, Dhoke Ratta organised by Anjuman Sadaat-o-Momineen said, the pious Asswah of Maula-e-Kainaat is the best example to follow for all human beings. He said after the Holy Prophet (SAW), Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is the only personality that is mutually agreed upon by the Muslim Ummah. He lamented that the national electronic and print media was extending step-motherly treatment to a personality of that calibre. He made it clear that qualities and deeds of Khanwada-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad were recognised and those who are ignoring the same were displaying their shortsightedness, otherwise such personalities do not require any coverage. Syed Qamar Zaidi reiterated his resolve to continue their struggle for the mission of “Wila” and “Aza” would continue and no sacrifice would be spared in achieving these objectives whenever called for by Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.
