RAWALPINDI, April 15: The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi while strongly condemning firing incidents at different places, including Brewery Road Quetta and target killings of innocent public including Hazara community, expressed heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved families. In a statement issued from the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tasheyo, he announced to observe “International Ashra Aza-e-Fatima” from Jamadi-ul-Awwal 23 to Jamadi-us-Sani 3 in connection with the martyrdom anniversary of the lady of heaven Hazrat Fatima Zehra (PBUH). He said the pious character of Hazrat Fatima (PBUH) guarantees getting rid of oppression, brutality and terrorism. He said the worsening law and order situation in Quetta, Karachi, and Gilgit-Baltistan is the work of intelligence agencies of those states who have set up consulates in our neighbouring country and who are fully sponsoring the terrorists. He said the whole blame is put on Muslims and Muslim states whenever even a minor incident takes place in any other country, in particular failed attempts are being made to target Pakistan while our rulers have neither raised the issue of terrorism, which is going on for the last three decades, at any world forum nor have they lodged any protest with foreign ambassadors by summoning them to the foreign office.

Agha Moosavi said it is no more a secret that our perpetual enemy and her agents are busy in playing a heinous game of murder and destruction in our motherland and the small groups created by them give calls for strikes, sit-ins and jalao-gherao after every incident that is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. He said news of the patriotic forces and those who have sympathy for the people is sabotaged; instead they ensure their point of view is not carried by the print or electronic media. He said the government institutions including media are following the policy of international colonial powers as they present non-representative organisations as the national representatives that is condemnable and provides food for thought. He said the Supreme Court took a few decisions viz. Balochistan after taking suo moto notices but more than a dozen innocent people were murdered within three days in target killings while scores lie injured.

The TNFJ chief said that if the people desire to be protected then they should denounce these groups who are backed by some lobbies while they enjoy no status among the nation. He said those extremist groups who are using the name of recognised schools of thought have no relation with Sunni-Shia rather they are the enemies of Islam, Pakistan and its people. He said terrorism can only be rooted out if the government works with sincerity of purpose and all the patriotic forces are ready to cooperate with the government in this connection. But, he added, it would only be possible when strict actions are taken against those who break the law and when norms of justice and fair-play are fulfilled.

The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi made it clear that Sunnis and Shias are two strong hands of Islam and the strength of Pakistan while different schools of thought are the beautiful bouquet of the Gulistan-e-Islam who should be vigilant and defend themselves. He said the world of humanity, particularly the world of Shariat is aware of the value and the dignity of the daughter of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Fatima Zehra (PBUH). Four women from the universe were declared supreme and Hazrat Fatima (PBUH) is the leader of all the women, he added. He appealed to the followers of Islam to pay homage to the oppressed family of the Holy Prophet (PBUT) in the programmes of “International Ashra Aza-e-Fatima” and make it clear to the rest of the world that the biggest satan could not create differences amongst us despite involving us in issues and incidents. He said we are ready to give our lives for the Ideology of Islam and Pakistan and that the Flag of Islam would remain flying high.

Meanwhile, a TNFJ committee has been formed to organise the programmes for “International Ashra Aza-e-Fatima”. Dr. S. Zaman has been nominated as convener, Jarrar Hussain Jafri as deputy convener and Haji Tanvir Hussain Kazmi as the secretary of this committee.
