After reaching Committee Chowk, Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi the central secretary Information of the TNFJ while addressing the rally said that this year the day of Al Quds is being observed at a time when terrorists attacked Kamra Airbase on 27th of Ramzan which was also the Pakistan Day and when the Gilgit-bound bus was attacked and innocent fasting passengers were given a bloodbath which is tragic and condemnable. These incidents, he added, has unveiled the government claims. Markazi Convener Meesam Tammar in his address said that the contacts of the Federal and Provincial government with the banned groups are the basic reason of incidents of terrorism, murder and arson. He appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take immediate notice of this precarious situation and take concrete and practical steps to get the people rid of terrorism and those banned groups that are responsible for it.

A resolution unanimously adopted by the participants of the rally on the occasion while condemning the colonial activities going on in the Muslim states and terrorist activities in Pakistan by its perpetual enemies said that these nefarious tactics is an open challenge for the Muslim nation and for the Pakistani nation. The resolution said that the whole nation is the symbol of protest on the occasion of International Youm Al-Quds Himayat-e-Mazloomin that is their basic right and it would continue till the oppressed reach their fate.

The resolution also demanded from the government to give exemplary punishment to the gory terrorists who were turning the foundations of the motherland hollow through continuous incidents of terrorism. It strongly demanded from the Government of Pakistan to take concrete protective measures to make the sensitive routes of Gilgit-Baltistan, Quetta-Taftaan, Peshawar-Parachina free of any risk for the citizen travelling on these routes because contrary to the government claims many incidents have taken place on these routes killing dozens of innocent people and hundreds of them were still under treatment in hospitals. Ensuring that these routes are made risk-free is the responsibility of the provincial governments. Similarly, Pakistan Airbase and the GHQ had been targeted by terrorism; therefore, the government should take concrete steps to root out terrorism and for the protection of life and property of the people instead of giving a mere lip-service. In this connection ban should immediately be imposed on the already banned groups working with new names.

The participants of the rally resolved their commitment that they will continue their practical struggle in the larger interest of Islam, Pakistan and its people. No power on earth could create differences amongst us. We are one and will thwart every conspiracy and mischief of our combined enemy by becoming one and pious through our exemplary unity, they said.
