RAWALPINDI, July 27: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has announced to observe “Protest Day” on the first Friday of the holy month of fasting against the colonial interference in Muslim States and desecration of holy places. In a special message issued from the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tasheyo, he appealed the Ulema to raise voice of protest in the Friday sermons against the ongoing colonial conspiracies in the oppressed and Muslim States including Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, and Afghanistan. He expressed grave concern over the continued aggression of international atheist forces against Muslim States. He lamented that Afghanistan, Iraq, Tunis, Yemen, Syria, Libya were targeted but the Muslim rulers, OIC and Arab League have tightened their lips in a ‘semi-acceptance manner. He said whatever is going on against Muslims it is completely being patronised by colonial powers.

Agha Moosavi said the Arab world is completely supporting international colonial powers in whatever is going on in Afghanistan where holy places including Mazar Sharif are being desecrated and in similar incidents in Iraq Imamul Askariaen (PBUT), shrine of Hazrat Imam Abu Hanifah, Karbala-e-Moallah, Najaf-e-Ashraf and Syria. He said Ulema are being targeted and a few days ago, the city of Hazrat Syeda Zainab (PBUH) called Sitta-e-Zainab was targeted. Although the shrine remained save, however, heavy loss was reported around it and this heinous act is still going on. The Budhist sect has begun massacre of Muslims in Mayanmar, Barma and they are leading a very miserable life there. Arab League that was demanding  quitting of Syrian government is not even ready to say a few words against attacks on Muslims and their massacre, he added. Bahrain a tiny State in the Persian Gulf comprising over 1.2 million population in which half of the population are foreign labourers and their families. Almost 80 per cent of the people in Bahrain belong to Maktab-e-Tasheyo and they are being punished for following Jaffar Ibne Muhammad (PBUH). He lamented that today minority is massacring the majority making their life difficult.

The TNFJ chief said that situation in Makkah and Madinah were also not different. Shaikh Baqar Al-Nimr was subjected to violence and arrested, Imam-e-Juma of Masjid Aaimma-e-Baqee Shaikh Taufiq is undergoing solitary confinement for long. He said it is a good omen of Arab summit is being summoned by Saudi King Shah Abdullah in August about coups in the Arab countries. He said one of the reasons of coups is disappointment of people from their rulers besides non-fulfilment of rights, restrictions on beliefs and ideologies while Islam preaches to the contrary. He said the problems in Saudi Arabia would have been resolved by today had the problems of the people resolved, there was no restriction of beliefs on anyone, dignity of the holy places is restored. Similarly, neither the Zionists would not have the courage to desecrate Al-Quds Al-Sharif and Hindus to raze the Babri Masjid to ground, nor would the Burmese Muslims have gone the gory oppression.

Agha Moosavi said Pakistan is the citadel of Islam and the international atheist forces are utilizing all their energy to cause harm to it. Drone attacks, suicide attacks, blasts, target killings are still going on despite restoration of the NATO supplies which is condemnable. He said solidarity will be expressed for the oppressed and hatred against the oppressors and voice will be raised against the desecration of holy places and the Islamic World on Friday following the saying of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (PBUH) that express hatred against the oppressor and fully support the oppressed to whichever area they belong to.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi called upon the human right organisations including the United Nations, the Security Council and ICC to stop interference of international colonial powers in the Muslim States and get the oppression of rulers against people stopped, and provide complete protection to the signs attributed to Allah and holy places. He demanded to declare Syria, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain as international cities to that people can perform pilgrims of the holy signs and the pious personalities of Islam in a respectable manner.

Meanwhile, a TNFJ central committee has been formed to organise programmes for the Protest Day. Dr. S.M. Rizvi has been nominated as convener while Ali Furqani would be the secretary of this committee.
