Zuljinah procession taken out from Imam bargah Ashiq Hussain Teli Mohallah merged into the main procession. Mourners of Imam Hussain (PBUH) performed Zanjeer-Zani and condolences were presented to the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) on this occasion. The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi participated in the procession, performed Ziarat of the taburrakaat and took part  Matamdari.

Agha Moosavi, talking to media representatives on this occasion, said that Pakistan came in to being on the basis of Kalma e Tauheed;since the foundation of Kalma e Tauheed lies upon the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (PBUH)  there can be no doubt that the foundation of Pakistan lies upon the message of Hussainiat. While replying to a question in regards to a terrorist attack on the Office of DPO in D I Khan which occurred yesterday, continuous target killings in the motherland and the problems faced by the Muslim nation, Agha Moosavi said that the incidents of terrorism, target killings and the Drone attacks are the part of heinous conspiracy of the colonial powers and their stooges who do not want an end to the terrorism so that they will have a so called legitimate reason to interfere in the matters of the Islamic states. Furthermore, in order to complete their heinous aims, they want to move attention from the real issues by using terrorism as a tool. He said that in order to root out terrorism, it is important to be free from the colonial power’ backed rulers. He said that the only solution for the problems faced by the Muslim nation is to follow the path of Hussainiat, this is the only way the Muslim nation will be victorious.

He said that the grandson of the Holy prophet Imam Hussain (PBUH) presented exemplary sacrifice in Karbala for the supremacy of the religion, Sharia and humanity, which is a beacon of light for the oppressed nations. The reason explained by Imam Hussain (PBUH) to take stand against Yazid was to enforce Amar Bil Ma’aroof and Nahi Anil Munkir while following the pious character of his grandfather Mohammad (PBUH & HHP) because Yazid, while refusing to accept the concept of revelation, the Prophethood and the traditions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP), was destroying the Islamic values. He said that Imam Hussain (PBUH) proved through his actions to be the protector of the religion and Sharia. Aqae Moosavi reminded that not only the solution of the problems of the Muslim nation but also of the oppressed of the world is hidden in following the path of Hussainiat.

The participants of the procession carried out Zanjeer-Zani and Qama-Zani in Trunk Bazar, Habib Bank Chowk and combined into a big rally after reaching Fawwara Chowk where addressing the participants, Central Secretary Information of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan, Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi said Arbaeen-e-Hussaini is the memory of Aseeran-e-Karbala’s commitment and courage which devastated the foundation of Yazidi courts through their visionary and heart-rending addresses, despite being chained,  to highlight the objective of Hussainiat. Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi while appreciating the efforts of Mukhtar force to catch a terrorist from the Markazi procession of Chehlum in Rawalpindi demanded from the government to take harsh actions against banned groups and terrorist elements. He made it clear that terrorists and terrorism cannot deviate us from the path of Hussainiat.

On this occasion the prominent figure of TNFJ Syed Abu Nasam Bukhari presented a resolution to the participants of the procession in which the bomb blast in the chehlum procession of Shuhda e Karbala in Khanpur and a terrorist attack on the DPO office in D I Khan which occurred yesterday was condemned and demanded from the government to bring to justice the culprits of these incidents and that it should control more than two and half dozen banned groups who are roaming around and causing mayhem in the motherland with new names and identities. In the resolution the support of banned groups by some elements of the government was condemned. In the resolution the conspiracy of causing disarray between the state institutions – the judiciary, the parliament and the administration was condemned and it was asked that these institutions should show unity and prove to the world that no power can cause any sort of division between them. In the resolution the heinous crimes committed by the colonial powers against the oppressed of the world were condemned and reminded that this enemy of humanity first pushed Iraq to invade Kuwait and then played a heinous act by attacking Iraq. The same colonial power made Iran and Iraq fight with each other and gained much from this conflict. They created Usama and infiltrated him into the Muslim countries and, since then, are destroying the Muslim countries by using the name of Usama.  The last target of this monster was Pakistan therefore he used all of its heinous tactics, everything from suicide attacks and target killings to mayhem caused by foreign agencies and is still carrying on to complete its agenda. In the resolution a grief was expressed that in the motherland Pakistan the rulers and opposition, in order to prolong their rule or to gain power, are using similar tactics to those of Banu Umayad and Banu Abbas who used Islam to reign the public. Politicians are using democracy to gain power but democracy is also showing a picture of dictatorship because those who are governing the country in the name of democracy are not sincere in solving the problems of the public. The load shedding of power and Sui gas has reached the stage where poor people have nothing left to make ends mee;t  cases of theft, price hikes and the invasion of western culture  is on peak. The freedom of the Media has caused an invasion of western culture in every nook and cranny of the country. Now the internal enemy has become more dangerous for the country than the external ones.  In the name of freedom, the monster of western cultures is everywhere. In the resolution the silence of electronic and print media during the universal days of Arbaeen e Hussaini was condemned. The duplicity of the administrative elements was critisize,d who only understand the language of force and bow down in front of those who speak that language while those who love peace have no say and their rights are being trampled over by the same administrative elements.   

In the resolution it was stated that due to the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (PBUH) the Muslim nation can lift its head up and also the rulers can enjoy the status they have. In the resolution it was demanded from the government that it should protect the basic ideology of the motherland while following the Sharia and should give rights to the deprived sections of society, i.e. the Jafariya and Hanfia schools of thought, by giving them proper representation in all major Islamic institution of the state. In the resolution it was said that the government declares a holiday on the death of a politician but does not consider calling a public day off on the occasion of Arbaeen e Hussaini which is condemnable. In the resolution, in order to get freedom from the clutches of the colonial powers, to stop NATO supply line indefinitely and to root out terrorism, it was demanded from the government to take concrete steps. In the resolution it was reiterated that till 8^th of Rabi ul Awwal, while following the code of Azadari presented by the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, participation in the programmes of Azadari will be ensured.
