ISLAMABAD, September 10: The Matmi protest demonstrations were organised by Mukhtar Students Organisation in connection with the International Ashra Sadiq Aal-e-Muhammad in different cities of the country against destruction of Roza-e-Aqdas of sixth inheritor of the Rasool (SAAW), Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.). Central President of the Organisation Malik Ali Furqani, Jawad Hussain Malik, Ali Raza, Muhammad Abbas and other leaders led the demonstration in front of the National Press Club in the Federal Capital Islamabad. The participants of the rally were raising protest slogans against the dilapidated condition of the holy shrines of the holy personalities. Syed Wajih-ul-Hassan Kazmi, Deputy Chairman M.O. while addressing the demonstrators called upon all international organisations including the United Nations to play their effective role in getting historical graveyards of Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarh i.e. Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moalla so that the world of humanity could perform their Ziarat easily.

Syed Qasim Al-Hussaini, Deputy Chairman of MSO said there is something to ponder over for the claimants of supporting and protecting all rights of the world of humanity and every soft-heartened human being that the colonial powers have been using the Islamic World as a test-board for their oppressions under a heinous conspiracy for quite long. He said they did not rest even after division after division of countries and Masalik and then they imposed their agent rulers after wiping out the Mashaheer-e-Islam and the holy shrines. Later they patronised publication of blasphemous images, incidents of setting the copies of Holy Quran and sometimes committed direct aggression against Muslim States and this activity is still going on, he added.

He said many other oppressive activities were carried out in the human history while the Aal-e-Saud also committed a great oppression by bulldozing Jannatul Moallah in Makkah Mukarramah and Jannatul Baqee in Madinah Munawwarah in 1924. There were shrines of Paighambar-e-Islam’s (SAAW) daughter Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.), his offspring, Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.) and Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.). In addition to that the Roza-e-Athar of sixth Imam Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) was also there who had established universal Danishgah of knowledge and Ma’arif after thwarting every conspiracy to deshape Islam through jehad against evil-worship. Thirsty of knowledge people, used to come there to satisfy their thirst of knowledge and then disseminate it to others. Today, the Roza-e-Athar of Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) is also razed to ground along with the shrines of other holy personalities. The history stands witness that from the Anbia-e-Sulf to the Holy Prophet (SAAW) and from him to the Khilafate Usmania, these holy shrines existed there. The whole world of humanity used to offer Ziarat of these places because these personalities are equally respectable for the world of humanity but their signs and symbols related with them have been wiped out and this activity was still going on.

The participants of the Matmi procession adopted some resolutions among vociferous slogans. A resolution while strongly condemning these shameful acts called upon the Muslim rulers to break their criminal silence on the issue because they share more responsibility for the reconstruction and restoration of the dignity of these great Islamic memorials. This gathering, also demands from those institutions who cry hoarse of protecting human rights and the heritage, the United Nations and Unesco to give attention to the Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moalla, the combined heritage of the whole humanity, in restoring their dignity by getting these reconstructed in addition to what they are doing to ensure the protection of heritage throughout the world because it is included in the United Nations Charter that this representative body of the nations the world over would not only protect the combined heritage, signs, remains, and footprints of the world of humanity but those who will raze such signs to ground or cause harm to the same would also be stopped. Since the inception of the United Nations, the whole world of humanity have pinned hopes with it, therefore, they should play their role in getting the dignity of the Islamic signs like Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah restored.

The resolution demanded from the Government of Pakistan to assert pressure on the Saudi Arabian government on diplomatic level for the restoration of the honour and dignity of Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah honouring the May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi agreement and summon the Saudi ambassador to the Foreign Office and apprise him of the universal protest and concern against the destruction of holy places. This gathering demands to declare Makkah and Madinah as Open Cities. If the rulers of the Muslim Ummah did not take any practical step towards that direction then they would have to ready themselves for more difficulties and problems. The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has already stated that if the rulers of the Muslim States get the reconstruction of the Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah done jointly then we guarantee the solution of all long-standing issues including annexation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif and independence of Kashmir.

Yet another resolution expressed heartfelt grief and concern that the atheist world has bent upon desecrating the signs of Allah. This gathering also strongly condemns the organised international heinous conspiracy of blasphemy and continued acts of desecration of Quran, Khatmi Martabat and pious Hadiyan-e-Din. It expressed heartfelt solidarity with the whole oppressed world, particularly the people of Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Burma, Bahrain and Syria and reiterate their resolve to continue their practical struggle in support of the righteousness, hatred against oppression, achievement of rights of the Millat and integrity and solidarity of the motherland under the visionary leadership of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi and would not hesitate in offering any sacrifice on his call.

The resolution said that like other protest demonstrations throughout the country, this protest rally strongly condemns unrest and terrorism prevailing in the country, particularly in Karachi, Quetta, Gilgit-Baltistan where people are being targeted but the ruler were busy in carrying out their political activities find no time to attend the situation. The remarks of the Chief Justice of Pakistan given in a case about law and order situation in Balochistan are based on realities that there is no sectarianism in Balochistan rather this is terrorism based on the incidents of murder and arson in which both Sunnis and Shias are being killed. The remarks of the Chief Justice prove the point of view of the Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi as right that the incidents of terrorism in Quetta, Karachi and other cities of the country are the part of colonial expansionist agenda because she desires to occupy Pakistan enriched with atomic power and the national resources and to impose her Banya agent’s supremacy in the region. Therefore, our rulers should give up cowardice and get rid of the international colonial powers so as to get rid of terrorism as it is the only way to get their dream of getting rid of terrorism.

The gathering declared that the oppressed and suppressed people the world over are supporters of peace and love humanity, therefore, the satans occupying the big Aiwans and those who decide the destiny of the humanity should keep it in their mind that no power on earth could create differences in them, the clouds of oppression would surrender and ultimately the oppressed will emerge successful. The international organisations should also keep in mind that if they did not support the oppressed then they will also meet the fate worse than League of Nation and the colonial powers would break into tatters like did the idols of socialism.

The participants of the protest demonstration organised by the Mukhtar Organisation reiterated their resolve that the M.O. workers will give any sacrifice on the call of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi for achievement of religious rights of the Maktab-e-Tashih, solidarity, development and defence of the motherland. Senior M.O. leader Qazi Wafa Abbas also addressed the gathering.

Meanwhile, according to reports reaching the central office of the Mukhtar Organisation, similar Matmi protest demonstrations were also organised in Peshawar, Quetta, Faisalabad, Karachi, Lahore, Bhakkar, Dera Ismail Khan, Kohat, Chakwal, Gujrat, and Khairpur Mirs.
