Arbaeen-e-Hussaini observed with traditional religious spirit, devotion and respect throughout the country

RAWALPINDI, December 4: The Chehlum of Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and other Shuhada-e-Karbala (Arbaeen-e-Hussaini) was observed with traditional religious spirit, devotion and respect throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Monday. In Rawalpindi, main Chehlum procession was taken out from Imambargah Ashiq Hussain Teli Mohallah, Imambargah Col. Maqbool Hussain and Imambargah Hifazat Ali Shah Bohar Bazar. Mourners of Imam Hussain (A.S.) performed Zanjeer-Zani to express their devotion to the Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.). Zuljinah, Alam Mubarik, Taazia, Mehndi Shahzada Qasim (A.S.), Gehwara Masoom Ali Asghar (A.S.), Taboot Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) and other Taburrakaat were included in the Chehlum procession.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi participated in the procession, offered Ziarat of the taburrakaat and performed Matamdari. Talking to media and Azadars on this occasion, Agha Moosavi said that Nawasa-e-Rasool Imam Hussain (A.S.) provided protection to religion, Shariat and humanity by decorating the Maidan-e-Karbala while Sharikatul Hussain Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.) and Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) gave a new lease of life to Hussainiyyat, provided protection to the objectives of Hussain (A.S.). The Azadari established by Zainab (S.A.) and Zainul Abideen (A.S.) is an eternal protest against Yazidiyyat, tyranny, oppression and brutality and is the basic right of the oppressed. He said Azadari Syed-us-Shuhada is the universal protest of the oppressed for which there is no need of any licence, it is the most effective protest that has no decline, Azadari will continue till the time oppression and brutality are rooted out for ever and justice and fair-play are enforced in real terms. He said the New York, London and Paris attacks are the branches of the same conspiracy the objective of which is to find an excuse for the supremacy of Zionists and Hindus and further interference in the Muslim States.

Answering a question, the TNFJ chief said that Turkey is being entangled with Russia while Tayyip Erdogan is following the path of Gen. Zia. Russian has indicated to submit proofs of helping jehadis and trade relations with Daesh from Turkey in the United Nations. The result of putting Turkey in American lap and promoting terrorists will only culminate in destruction. Turkey is being pushed in the swamp and she needs to exercise wisdom.

Answering another question, Agha Moosavi said Nawaz Sharif should not boast on his meeting with Moodi as keeps a dubious character. He said Pakistan should exercise wisdom and avoid being in a hurry. He said the Operation Zarb-e-Azb is on top of list in international efforts against terrorism on which the neighbouring countries should also support us. In Afghanistan treatment is provided to injured terrorists who run away from Pakistan rather Afghanistan has become a second India for Pakistan. He said the world should keep in mind that the sword of the Zarb-e-Azb will click with more power and would ultimately wipe out the enemies of humanity. He said the whole nation is behind the Pakistan’s Armed Forces therefore the politicians should also give up their reservations.

Replying a question on supporting ‘N’ League in the local bodies’ elections, he said the Maktab-e-Tashih is confronted with a sense of deprivation. ‘N’ League has assured in writing for the implementation of Junejo-Moosavi Agreement for Shia demands. It was Muslim League whose head Muhammad Khan Junejo has signed an agreement with us after the 8-month long TNFJ agitation. He said promise for implementation is the reason for cooperation in local bodies’ elections which can lead to cooperation in the next general elections if these are fulfilled.

Agha Moosavi said that the importance of Chehlum is not less than Ashoora of Shuhada-e-Karbala.

Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, in his address to the mourners at Fawwara Chowk highlighted the invaluable sacrifice of the Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) and stated the Masaib of the Aseeran-e-Karbala on their return to Madinah. Ch. Abu Baidar Ali and Wajihul Hassan Kazmi also addressed the gathering.

The spokesman of Muharram Committee Azadari Cell Abu Naseem Bokhari presented resolutions in which it reiterated to continue Azadari Syed-us-Shuhada till 8^th Rabiul Awwal by displaying the Sunni-Shia unity. The resolution reiterated their support for the National Action Plan and the Operation Zarb-e-Azab and demanded the release of Ayatollah Baqir Al-Nimr.  

Later, after performing Zanjeer-Zani at Fawwara Chowk, the participants of the main Chehlum procession reached Raja Bazar and Purana Qila where Zuljinah processions taken out from Imambargah Kashmirian Tyre Bazar and Darbar Shah Chan Chiragh also merged into the main procession. The main Chehlum procession terminated at Imambargah Qadeem after passing through Jamia Masjid Road and Imambara Chowk. Mukhtar Students Organisation District Rawalpindi had set up Azadari Camp at Fawwara Chowk while Ibrahim Scouts had set up Medical Camps at Habib Bank Chowk, Raja Bazar and Jamia Masjid Road to facilitate the Matmis. Office-bearers of Divisional and District Committees of the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya and MFP jawans remained along with the procession throughout.
