RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Syed Akhlaq Hussain Kazmi, Central Joint Secretary of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan has said that the objective of Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) was to struggle and carry out jehad against riot, oppression and brutality.

He stated this while addressing the office-bearers of Ashrae-Sadiq-e-Aal-e-Muhammad Committee of TNFJ. Convener of the Committee Allama Sadiqi apprised the participants of details of Majalis and Matmi processions to be organized from 15-25 Shawal.

Akhlaq Kazmi said that martyrdom of sixth Imam Hazrat Jafar ibne Muhammad (A.S.) took place in the era of Khalifa Mansoor when riot was all around and there was no respect for blood, religion and Shariat. The people were not being ruled through justice and fair-play rather the law of jungle prevailed, and people were mere toys in the hands of oppressors, the followers of Prophet (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.), devotees of Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.), pious Sahaba Kubar (R.A.) were confronted with acute poverty, problems and difficulties. In that era, humiliation of religious elders had become a habit.

He said Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) remained busy in promoting religion, Shariat, teachings of Muhammad (SAAW) and knowledge of Murtaza (A.S.). The attitude of the Masoom (A.S.) against the oppressor was strong for which he was attacked several times, he was sent in exile out of city and ultimately martyred in Shawal, 148 Hijra but the world of oppressors could not bow him down or divert him from the righteous path.

The TNFJ Joint Secretary said, oppression and brutality is the order of day even today, darkness of oppression prevails all around, incidents of murder and massacre are continuing in Kashmir, Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq but the world is not ready to support justice and fair-play the biggest argument in this connection is hue and cry raised by the colonial agents on the death term given to Saddam, the former oppressor ruler of Iraq, and that is being termed as a source of promoting sectarianism and different things are being said in this regard.

He asked, whether Shahanshahiyyat was not imposed on Iraq before 1957? Minority was ruling the majority at that time also and the world was playing the role of a silent spectator, then atheist Ba’ath Party’s Zionist agents took over to install the government of Brig. Abdul Karim and Abdus Salam Arif who began to make scholarly personality a laughing stock on which the biggest Mufti of that time issued Fatwa-e-Kufr and Ilhaad against communism as a result of which whole lot of Iraqi people got up and Abdul Karim had to tender apology.

He said dictatorship is the rule of law in Iraq since then so much so that after Ahmed Hassan Al-Bakr, Saddam attacked Iran and interfered in Kuwait on the behest of America, then allied forces attacked him. Put the question of justification of American interference aside, we ask world rulers, heads of State and organizations whether Saddam was an oppressor or not? Whether he destructed cities after cities or not? His war crimes are no more a secret; the mass graves found in Iraq have unveiled his oppression? Resistance against American forces is in support of Saddam? No not at all rather resistance shown in Iraq is only against American interference and not in favour of Saddam.

Allama Kazmi said now the question is being posed that judge announcing death term for Saddam is a Kurd and it would create Sunni-Shia problems while Kurds are Ahle Sunnat. He said presenting Saddam’s death term in the Sunni-Shia scenario is a heinous conspiracy and the fact is that the whole world considers Saddam an oppressor. He said those who are raising objection against the court should tell whether the other courts world over are enjoying the status of Godly Courts? They are non-Muslim courts therefore the analysts should fear from God, consider oppressor an oppressor and the oppressed as an oppressed, should avoid adding fuel to the fire to the oppressed by supporting Saddam, support to Saddam is a support of the new American world map and one who does so are visibly American foes but in actual they were utilizing all their energy in fulfilling the American interests and the New World Order.

He said besides analysts the role of media is also unjustifiable but in favour of super powers. Any world court could give punishment to an oppressor and could also set him free but the real and big punishment would come from the Court of Allah and the conclusion of an oppressor would be severe. He said all institutions should keep in mind that talking to Sunni-Shia differences is aimed at strengthening the interests of the colonial powers.
