ISLAMABAD, December 19: The Patron in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulama Board and Head of Tehreek e Nifaz e Fiqah Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that not only the interior minister but right from the x-President Zardari to the exiting rulers along with all major political parties and politicians enjoy relations with the banned organizations. Personal relations are more dearer to the rulers and politicians as compared to the friendships and loyalty towards Pakistan and the people of Pakistan. Banned organizations are sitting in the Islamic ideology council, peace committees, and Royat e Hilal Committee without any check as the government institutions are used to serve political and personal gains and bargains. Tradition of developing personal relations instead of national relations with other states has been the root cause of the failure of Pakistan’s foreign policy. Countries offering VIP protocols to the leaders of the banned organizations of Pakistan must be protested against at diplomatic fronts. Friendships and personal relations of the rulers and politicians are impeding the success of Zarb e Azab and National Action Plan. Extraordinary resolve, courage, and determination of the granddaughters of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) ensured successful completion of the Hussaini mission. Courageous sermons of Hazrat Umm e Kalsoom bint-e-Ali Ibn e Abi Talib (A.S) in the bazars and courts of Kufa and Syria gave the eternal lessons of bravely confronting the oppression and brutality. He said this while addressing to the program held about the birth anniversary of the holy Prophet’s (PBUH&HHP) granddaughter and Mujahid e Karbala, Hazrat Umm e Kalsoom bint-e-Ali (A.S) on the concluding day of Hafta e Wahdat o Akhuwat. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that rulers and politicians must learn lesson from the report of Quetta Commission. If actions are not ensured on the proposals of this commission, then further tragic incidents more critical than the Dhaka fall, APS Peshawar, Quetta and Kaarsaz will keep occurring. He questioned that how could those taking funding from other countries to spread unrest in Pakistan be respectable? He said that Zia’s martial law was imposed on Pakistan in accordance with the conspiracies of evil powers while the steps taken during that tenure left the cities and towns of Pakistan bleeding for the last four decades. Formulation of National Action Plan after the APS Peshawar incident was a ray of hope however; it has been compromised for the personal relations of the rulers and politicians. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that the areas exempted or kept out of the scope of Zarb e Azab and National Action Plan only to serve political and personal interests, have become the sanctuaries of terrorists who have been using these areas as platforms to commit attacks like the Quetta, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Bilawal Shah Noorani, and Gulshan e Iqbal Park targeting thousands of innocent Pakistani citizens however; none of these incidents opened the eyes of the rulers and politicians. He said that Qazi Faaiz Issa Commission report rightly pointed out that action is not being taken on National Action Plan rather its objectives have been compromised while the National Security Policy has also been neutralized. Even the organizations that have claimed responsibilities of the terrorist incidents have not been proscribed. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that steps to curb terrorism must be taken in accordance with the proposals of the Quetta Commission report, lists of the banned organizations must be uploaded on the official websites of the security institutions, federal and provincial governments must pledge that they will ensure indiscriminate action on all points of National Action Plan while no relations will be maintained with the banned/proscribed outfits and groups. He said that we have been demanding for the last thirty years that the states and sects whose names are used by the terrorists must express separation from those terrorists. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that all rulers and politicians must remember that we are the followers of the heroes of Karbala who spoke truth even at the peaks of spears. Our criteria of friendship and enmity is Islam, Pakistan, and the people of Pakistan, whoever stands against them is our enemy while their friends are and will always be our friends.
