RAWALPINDI, June 9: Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, Central Secretary Information of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan has said the government should give up political reservations and take concrete practical steps for restoration of durable peace in the country and remove the sense of non-protection in the people. In this connection, he added, the extremists and banned groups should be dealt with an iron hand instead of striking political deals with them. This was stated by him while addressing the office-bearers of the TNFJ’s International Ashra Ajr-e-Risalat Committee who called on him at the head of Syed Qasim Hussain Al-Hussaini.
Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi strongly condemning the attack on NATO supply convoy near Sangjani said that at present the whole country was in the grip of terrorists and no place or field is out of reach for them. He said there is need to remove the administrative hypocrisy to root out the menace of terrorism. In this connection, he added, the government, in the larger interest of the nation and the country, should announce practical hatred against the terrorists and elements who are supporting them, banned groups working with new names, take strict notice of their inclusion in political alliances and their alleged coverage on the media. Otherwise, the dream to restore peace in the country could not come true, he added.
The TNFJ Central Secretary Information said that motherland Pakistan is not an inheritance of any particular Maktab or sect rather all schools of thought joined Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah under the same flag and gave many sacrifices to create this country. That is why, he added, the official religion of Pakistan under the Article 2 of the Constitution of Pakistan is Islam and not any sect while under the Article 227 the explanation of Quran and Sunnah would be considered that is acceptable to the relevant fiqh. He expressed concern that a particular Maktab has monopolized the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Islamic Council of Ideology, Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, and other important State departments that is contrary to the Constitution as well as to the principles of Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal.
Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi said that a particular group had dominated some important departments of the country while recognized Makatib are absolutely deprived of representation in some departments. He lamented that only selected people and members of the allied parties are included in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Islamic Council of Ideology and other such organizations. He accused that decision to appoint heads of these organizations is settled through bargaining which is tragic. He demanded from the government to fulfil the norms of Constitution and all Makatib should be given ideological representation on the basis of equality fulfilling the norms of justice and fair-play while leadership of these organizations should be given to all recognized schools of thought in phases. He made it clear that the only solution to problems confronted by the world lay in holding the ‘Daman’ of the pious personalities the seerat and character of whom is beacon of light and best example to follow for the whole humanity.
