RAWALPINDI, November 23: The collective funeral prayer of the martyrs of the Matami procession of Dhoke Syedaan, Rawalpindi Cant. was performed at Qasre Shabir (PBUH) in which great numbers of mourners belonging to Sunni and Shia faith participated. It was great view when the bodies of the seventeen martyrs including one of the Ahle Sunnat Azadar Mohammad Nadeem were taken towards burial grounds. On this occasion apart from police, the volunteers of TNFJ and its sub organizations including MFP, Ibrahim Scouts and Mukhtar Students Organizations made great arrangements. The volunteers of Ibrahim Scouts brought a Matami procession from Garja Road in which Tabaroukat and Tazeas were included in remembrance of Raheel Abbas of Ibrahim Scout who stopped the suicide bomber. According to the announcement of the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, the participants of the funeral and relatives of the martyrs announced the observation of the “Days of grief” for their loved ones after 8^th of Rabiul Awwal because there is no calamity greater then the grief of Imam Hussain (PBUH).  

While addressing to the participants of the funeral, the spokesman of the TNFJ Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi said that oppression can only be defeated while following the path of Hussainiat that is why after this incident of terrorism, the volunteers of the TNFJ did not allow anyone to move even a single stem of barley because mayhem and disorder is the agenda of terrorists while even a single grain of a sand of the motherland is dearer to us then our lives; the federal and provincial governments should not make terrorists respected rather they should be dealt with iron hand.  

On this occasion Allama Zaidi read the message of the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi in which, while condemning the bomb blast near Qasre Shabir Dhoke Syedaan Rawalpindi, Quetta and Karachi, Aqae Moosavi said that bomb blasts and suicide attacks cannot force us to abandon the path of Hussainiat; We are happy to lay our lives but will not let Azadari die. Programmes of Azadari began on 1^st of Muharram ul Harram will conclude on 8^th of Rabiul Awwal with respect and great reverence. We salute volunteers of Ibrahim Scouts, Mukhtar Force and those mourners of Imam Hussain (PBUH) who laid their lives for the mission of Hussainiat; their parents are lucky, if we have to offer the lives of thousands of our children for the protection of Azadari, still we would not hesitate to do so and will not let anyone throw a bad eye towards Azadari, those who got martyrdom includes Ahle Sunnat which proves that Imam Hussain (PBUH) belongs to all;

Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that releasing terrorists from prisons before Muharram poses a question. It has been proven by the incidents of Quetta, Karachi and Rawalpindi that the government has only relied on spreading fear and panic. These incidents exposed the sham security arrangements made by the government. He said that the main reason for the terrorist incidents is, three dozens banned groups that are roaming about freely; they have friendship with administration and are also part of the peace committees.

The TNFJ leader said that the opposing statements of the government show that there is a lack of coherence between the governmental institutions and the enemy is taking advantage of this situation. If the rulers are serious to eliminate terrorism from the motherland then they will have to deal terrorists groups with iron hand; these groups must be thrown out of the peace committees and that the government will have to reach to the real representatives of the public. Until the terrorists are stopped from operating, the incidents of terrorism will continue. He said that attack on the procession of Azadari is equivalent to an attack on the dignity of the Holy Prophet and his Holy Progeny (PBUT) because in these processions the religious artefacts contain the Holy Quran and the pious names of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) his Holy Progeny (PBUT) and his pious companions (RA). He made an appeal to the mourners of Imam Hussain (PBUH) to give priority to the Azadari over everything else and should ensure the safety of Majalis and Matami processions. He said that we salute the martyrs of Azadari and their condolences will be held after 8^th of Rabiul Awwal.

On this occasion the caretaker of Imam Bargah Qasr e Shabir (PBUH) and the general secretary of the TNFJ Rawalpindi Syed Mazloom Hussain Kazmi, the president of the TNFJ Punjab Syed Hussain Muqadasi, the president of the TNFJ Rawalpindi region Allama Abual Hassan Taqi, Chaudhary Abu Baidar Ali of MFP, Allama Zahid Abbas Kazmi, Shoukat Abbas Jafferi, Qasim al Hussaini, Zakir Sajid Hussain Rukan and Zakir Ghulam Raza of Chuk Deenaal also addressed to the participants. After wards the martyrs of the “Matami procession” were buried in Gunj e Shaheedaan, Dhoke Syedaan with the slogan of Labaik Ya Hussain (PBUH).

(PBUH & HHP): Peace be upon him and on his holy progeny

(PBUH): Peace be upon him/her

(PBUT): Peace be upon them
