Muslim Rulers must restore the dignity and respect of the holy Shrines and the signs attributed to Almighty Allah - Hamid Moosavi 

Makkah and Medina must be declared as international cities. Arab league should be dissolved while OIC should be strengthened. 57 Muslim states must free themselves from the clutches of the colonial powers; the construction of the shrine of Bari Imam in Islamabad must be completed on immediate basis while the shrine must be opened for the pilgrims; the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) is the hero of the whole of humanity; Ignoring the death anniversary of the holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) is equivalent to betrayal; the demolished shrine of the daughter of the holy Prophet poses a question on the loyalty and faithfulness of the Muslim nation; taking part in politics using religious or linguistic platform is poisonous for the nation. Banned organizations must be expelled out; Matami protest led by Quaid e Millat e Jafariya 

ISLAMABAD, January 31: The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the desecration and demolition of the holy sites is a black spot on the name of the Muslim nation therefore, in order to get rid of the problems and come out of the crises, Muslim rulers must take steps to reconstruct and restore the dignity of the holy shrines of the heroes of Islam, and signs attributed to Almighty Allah. He said this while talking to the representatives of the electronic and print media during a mourning protest which took place from Markazi Imambargah Jamia tul Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad on the occasion of Alamgeer Hafta e Ehd o Peyman on Monday to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Imam Hassan Al Askari (PBUH). Agha Moosavi expressed deep regrets on the fact that the Muslim nation reciprocated to the efforts of the holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) in such a negative way that the holy shrines of forefathers and the holy family of the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUT), Mothers of the faithful, and the pious companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) in the cemeteries of Jannat ul Baqee and Jannat ul Mualla were bulldozed and demolished during the year 1924 while the demolished shrine of the beloved daughter of the holy Prophet (PBUH) is a big question mark on the faithfulness and loyalty of the Muslim nation. Agha Moosavi said that when the Muslim nation is bent upon obliterating its own signs and the holy sites, then how can we blame others? He stressed that the holy sites of Saudia Arabia are the joint assets of the whole Muslim nation therefore we demand that the cities of Makkah and Medina must be declared as international cities, discrimination of Arab and non-Arab must be abandoned by disolving Arab league and focusing and promoting the OIC only, while 57 Muslim states must free themselves from the clutches of international colonial powers. He said that as the Muslim nation is the follower of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH & HHP) therefore, to commemorate the death anniversary of the holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) is the foremost duty of Muslim nation because the holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) is the hero of the whole humanity. Agha Moosavi made it clear that similar to the heroes of Islam, the signs attributed to them are also respectable. While answering a question, Agha Moosavi said that international colonial powers have their own heinous designs; it never demands to restore democracy in the states where kingship holds all the powers as its own agents and stooges are in power in those countries and therefore they are acceptable for the colonial powers while Iraq was made a target and the shrine of Imam Abu Haneefa in Iraq was also targeted. Similarly, the holy Shrine of Imamain al Askarian (Imam al Hadi, and Imam Hassan Askari) in Samara was demolished in 2006, which could not be reconstructed completely, and its glory has not yet been fully restored till date. Therefore, we strongly demand that its reconstruction and restoration must be completed on urgent basis, and arrangements of accommodation and protection of the pilgrims must be made. He also demanded from the Syrian and Iraqi governments to ensure protection and safety of pilgrims who have been the target of terrorism every now and then. He said that today the holy cemetery of Jannat ul Baqee is itself a sign of protest against its destruction and demolition, Alquds has been occupied by the Jews, while Hindus demolished the historic Babri mosque and all these tragedies are the results of the deeds of the Muslim rulers. Agha Moosavi further reminded that I was also targeted during a Majlis e Aza at Imam ul Fuqaraa Bari Shah Lateef (Bari Imam) Islamabad in 2005 where dozens of TNFJ workers kissed martyrdom, scores were injured while the shrine has been closed for a long time, neither the pilgrims are facilitated, nor the annual program of Urs is held. We demand that its construction must be completed on immediate basis and the place should be opened for pilgrims. He said that international colonial powers consider the Muslim nation a threat to its own safety. He said that the rulers must wake up as efforts are being made to create differences among the established institutions of Pakistan. Agha Moosavi said that the way all the Muslims were united for the creation of Pakistan, now is the time to get united and unified in order to strengthen and development of our beloved homeland. He said that all the schools of thought had been appealed in the code of Azadari to join hands for holding the programs of Azadari and we are grateful to all the schools of thought for responding positively. He said that 26 banned organizations must be expelled out as it is the only solution of the problem of Terrorism. He said that protection of all the Pakistanis including minorities is vital as Islam does not allow inflicting harm even to a single human being. Agha Moosavi said that we are the followers of that holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) who always fought defensive wars while this protest of today is a part of the same strategy. He said that the way Kufr (non believers) is one nation similarly Muslims are also a single nation therefore; Muslims throughout the world must get united to thwart the conspiracies against them and defend Islam together. While responding to a question about the possibilities of election in the country and political activities of some of the religious groups, Agha Moosavis said that although we do not condemn politics however, electoral politics based upon the names of groups, sects, areas or race is poisonous and suicidal for the whole nation. Agha Moosavi clarified that the great sacrifice of the grandson of the holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP), Hazrat Imam Hussain (PBUH), his beloved companions and infant Shahezada Ali Asghar (PBUT) were not aimed for a particular sect or group, rather they were offered for the sake of respect, and dignity of the whole of humanity, as well as for the protection of deen o Shariat. He appreciated Azadars for their peaceful participation in Majalis e Aza and mourning processions since 1^st of Muharram ul Haram. Agha Moosavi reminded that Imam Hussain (PBUH) is not a hero of any particular sect or school of thought rather the holy Imam Hussain (PBUH) is a hero of the whole of humanity and living nation never forgets its heroes. He said that we presented the code of Azadari during the beginning of the month of Muharram to ensure respect and dignity of our nation and the country. He said that by announcing the programs of Ashra e Beemar e Karbala, Ashra e Shaheeda e Zindan, Hafta e Aseeran e Karbala, Ayyam e Arbaeen e Hussaini, Hafta e Azmat e Mustafa o Mujtaba, and Hafta e Ehd o Peyman we kept the memories of the heroes of Islam alive while gave a strong message to the enemies of the religion and Sharia that the followers of Hussainiat will never forget this great sacrifice. He said that the holy Prophet of Islam is the leader of the heroes of Islam whose birth anniversary is celebrated with religious respect and spirit however, was there any arrangement to commemorate the death anniversary of the same Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP)? On this occasion, dozens of matami organizations performed matamdari to offer condolences in the courts of Bargah e Imamat o Risalat. The mourning procession after passing through its designated route, ended at the Bab e Rasool e Khuda of Imambargah Jamia tul Murtaza. The Mukhtar Force and Police provided security on this occasion. On the route of the procession, Azadari camps were setup by Mukhtar Students Organization, Mukhtar Organization and Mukhtar Generation while Ibrahim Scouts (Open Group) led the procession. Representatives of religious organizations, Ulema e Karam, and leaders of matami organization participated in Naqab kushai, Parcham Kushai, and pursadari. Agha Syed Muhammad Murtaza Moosavi Advocate, Agha Syed Ali Rooh ul Abbas Moosavi Advocate and the family of Muhammad Ali Shakir expressed gratitude to all the participants of the Azadari procession.
