Reconciliation efforts between the two countries by the PM the Army chief are commendable – Hamid Moosavi

ISLAMABAD, January 20: The Patron-in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulema Board and Quaid of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that making reconciliation efforts between the two countries by Prime Minister of Pakistan and Chief of the Army Staff Gen. Raheel Sharif are commendable. Pakistan, despite its engagement with internal and external enemies has given priority for the unity of its brothers. If friendship can be made with atheist forces, agreements can be signed with America, hands can be shaken with Russia, promises can be made with India then why Iran and Saudi Arabia cannot make peace with each other? An emergent session of the OIC may have been summoned by playing an active role to make peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The atheist forces are united while Muslims are spread, entangling with each other, cutting each other’s throat and shedding blood. These views were expressed by him while addressing the TNFJ elite from Mansehra and Hazara Region.

Agha Moosavi said Islam is commensurate with peace and tranquillity, condemns war and all types of aggression and declares Muslims as brother to each other. He said if any conflict is created amongst them then following the Godly commandment in Surah Al-Hijraat, peace should be made between them. If they both commit excess with each other then you may all fight with the one who commits excess till the time he gives up oppression. And if he comes back then make peace between them with justice and do justice as Allah loves whose who perform justice.

The TNFJ chief said that the international colonial powers always desired to cause harm to the Islamic World and to make Muslim States a battlefield. That is why, he added, after 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Yemen rather most of the Muslim States are suffering with anarchy and instability. He said in this situation, giving death to 47 persons including Ayatollah Baqir Al-Nimr by the brotherly country Saudi Arabia added fuel to the fire making the whole world a symbol of protest. As a result, he added, the Saudi embassy in Iran was set on fire which was the violation of international law and it was condemned by all. He said both sides are enraged at present on which the evil forces are adding fuel.

Agha Moosavi made it clear that we have relations with Saudi Arabia and besides political, cultural and diplomatic relations, our financial and economic interests are also attached with them. He said more than 3 million labourers are employed there who are an immense source of foreign exchange for the country. Similarly, he added, Iran is our brotherly neighbourly country that has supported us in wars against India. Our war-planes remained safe at the Iranian airports in the 1965 war and it was Iran that recognised Pakistan before everyone else. Iran also supported Pakistan in getting the United Nations membership and there exists not tension with Iran.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that our perpetual enemy India spares no opportunity to cause harm to us. She tried her utmost to put the blame of Pathankot incident on Pakistan but it is proving to be an international lie. That is why, he added, despite Pakistan’s offer to cooperate in investigations into it, the threatening statement of Indian defence minister unveiled the Indian designs otherwise. But, he said, the question arises that who is responsible for attack on Pakistani Consulate in Afghanistan, suicide attack near the immunization centre in Quetta, remote control bomb attack on FC vehicle and terrorist incident in Peshawar Tuesday? He lamented and asked that why Pakistani rulers are hesitating in unveiling Indian designs on the international fora despite having concrete proof of terrorism against Pakistan?
