The UN should play its role to restore peace in the Middle East or otherwise the world peace would be shattered – Hamid Moosavi

ISLAMABAD, January 11: The Patron-in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulema Board and Quaid Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has called upon the United Nations to save the Middle East from American bloody game otherwise the world peace would be shattered. There is no Shia-Sunni war anywhere in the world and America and her agents desire to crush Islamic World by giving the Iran-Saudi tension the colour of Maslaki conflict. The Shahadat of Ayatollahh Baqir Al-Nimr and destruction of holy shrines may not be overlooked by terming the same as Iran-Saudi conflict. The shrine of Ummahatul Momineen, Ahle Bait Athaar and pious Sahaba Kubaar are the heritage of the whole Islamic World including Shia and Sunni. The people of Qateef and Ahsaa are suffering the worst type of State coercion. The people of Eastern Saudi Arabia and Bahrain should be given their right while Shaikh Ali Salman and Shaikh Zakzaki should be got released and case may be filed in the court of war crimes on massacre in Nigeria. These views were expressed by him in a letter he has written to the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon.

Agha Moosavi said Iran has went back from the path of Imam Khomeini. The shrines of Muslims and other faiths all over the world are in danger owing to Saudi funding. He claimed that Saudi policies and the steps being taken by the western countries are a source of giving air to terrorism. He said the centre of Ahle Tasheyyo after Madinah is the Najaf-e-Ashraf. Impression of Ahle Tasheyyo the world over to be bound to Iranian policies is wrong neither Saudi steps have any concern with Ahle Sunnat. Shias and Sunnis both are a symbol of protest on the destruction of Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah and for deprivation of kissing the grill of Roza-e-Rasool. He said Saudi Arabia that imposes ban on the books of Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi and Abul Aala Maudoodi and funds to trample Akhwanies cannot be termed the representatives of Sunnis. The diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia should be restored and impression about the United Nations playing the role of American ‘B’ team should be done away with while Kashmir and Palestine issues may be resolved.

According to the details about the letter issued from the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tasheyyo, Agha Moosavi said that keeping the destruction of Second World War in view some political leaders had formed the United Nations on 24^th October, 1945 so as to save the humanity from war and conflict in future. He lamented that the United Nations could not get its charter implemented for the poor and particularly for the Muslim States and now the general impression is that the United Nations takes all its decisions on the behest of American desire. He lamented that Zionists are occupying Bait Al-Maqdas, lakhs of Rohangia Muslims have been displaced in Burma who are wandering here and there in the open sea. In the Muslim World, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bangladesh, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Saudi and many others are not only facing anarchy but are also committing interference in other countries.

The TNFJ chief said war flames are being given air in the Middle East. A renowned Shia scholar Ayatollah Baqar Al-Nimr has given death which will increase tension in many Muslim States while you (Secretary General United Nations) have also expressed concern on the Shahadat of Ayatollah Baqar Al-Nimr. The trial for death sentence of Ayatollah Baqar Al-Nimr was vogue in which the norms of justice and fair-play were not fulfilled. The death sentence of Ayatollah Baqar Al-Nimr will increase discrimination in the Muslim World and would create negative effects on the law and order. We support the statements given by Human Rights Commission, Russian Committee for Foreign Affair and many other countries of the world who have termed the punishment of Ayatollah Baqar Al-Nimr as unjustifiable that has further worsened the record of human rights in Saudi Arabia.

He said Ayatollah Baqar Al-Nimr was the leader who used to criticise murder of opponents in Saudi Arabia and injustices done by them. He said the similar situation prevails in Nigeria. The United Nations should get the majority of Bahraini people rid of dictatorship and get the opposition leader Shaikh Ali Salman and Ayatollah Zakzaki released before they are given death sentence reaping the benefit of silence on the part of international organisations. He also asked him to get the Kashmir and Palestine issues resolved in line with the United Nations Resolutions; if the right of self-determination can be exercised in Mashriqi Taimoor and Sudan then why delaying tactics are being used in case of Kashmir and Palestine, he asked.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that at present the issue of terrorism tops the list. He said a terrorist keeps no country or Maslak therefore the United Nations should exercise its full force in rooting it out. But, he added, the causes of terrorism would also have to be checked. He said it is condemnable that desecration of images of Anbia and Sha’air is going on in some countries while holy signs are continuously being wiped out in Hijaz. Therefore, he added, there is need to carry out legislation on the international level to stop holy places to be razed to ground and humiliation of Mashaheer and leaders of different faiths and doing so should be declared a cognizable offence.
