ISLAMABAD, October 24: 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 the government and opposition’s routine of deciding things in drawing rooms and roads is destroying the foundations of the country. Politicians claiming for democracy are only confined to their personal interests. If meetings with government’s ministers can remove the stains of all evil deeds including terrorism and killings of innocent people then the drama of proscribing organizations must be stopped. All schedules and proscriptions are to victimize poor people, if the people in authority will not hear the voice of the nation, then they their own voices will also not be heard by the people. After a period of thirty years, Raheel Shareef has earned peaceful atmosphere for the nation therefore, the sacrifices of Pakistan army must not be wasted. The practice of taking decisions under the fear of protest gatherings and pressure groups must be changed. Honorable men do not turn back from his own words. Compromising with the banned organizations is like rubbing salt on the wounds of the victims of terrorism. Karbala taught us not to compromise with aggression and brutality. Hazrat Imam Zain ul Abideen (A.S) kept the message of Hussainiyat alive despite facing fierce oppression and torture in the worst dungeons of that time and defeated oppression through tolerance. He said this while talking to a delegation of TNFJ Punjab led by the provincial president Allama Syed Hussain Muqadasi. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that formulation and ammendments of anti-terrorism legislation and proscription of organizations has been taking place since 90s while their lists are also presented in the assemblies, announcement of curbs on gathering animal skins and collecting donations were also made but all went in vain until General Raheel Shareef eliminated all the sanctuaries of terrorists without any discrimination. Lack of sincerity and drive to pursue personal interests in the rulers and politicians is making the anti-terrorism efforts as meaningless. He said that had the central and provincial governments acted upon the National Action Plan with complete sincerity, the terrorists would have been eliminated only after one year of the Zarb-e-Azab operation however; refuges and hideouts are still available to the terrorists due to the political compromises of the politicians. Banned outfits are operating freely, leaders of the banned groups that are friendly to the government and opposition have been acting as the representatives of peace and wandering without any check despite being in Schedule-4 while poor and innocent people who have been struggling against extremism for the last three decades are being clutched in Schedule-4 as fill in the blanks. Agha Moosavi said that proscription on banned organizations is understandable however, clutching people in Schedule-4 who have never been in touch with any banned organizations is not understandable. A man was brought to one of the righteous caliph who had not committed any crime, the caliph ordered to set him free on immediate basis. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that government must not get blackmailed by the banned outfits while it must not give an impression that it only understands the language of power and pressure. No one in the world knows a method of protest more peaceful and effective than what we Hussainis know. We also occupied the secretariat in past and ran 8-months agitation movement against the worst dictator to achieve rights of religious freedom. He said that the government must clutch banned outfits and protect the sacrifices of Zarb e Azab operations. In case any harm is inflicted to the operation against terrorism to serve political compromises, not only the nation but the history will never forgive these rulers.  Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi clarified that we are the faithful followers the holy Prophet, his pious progeny and companions, we are the inheritors of Hussainiyat and the flagbearers of the martyrs of Karbala therefore, our preference is the religion, nation and humanity and we will never abandon speaking truth even at the peak of the spear.
