Like all cities, towns and villages of Pakistan, protest rallies were also taken out in America, Britain, Canada, Italy, Greece, Middle East, Africa, and Australia.

            The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi addressing the mourners in this connection said, Inhidam Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah was a test cast to gauge the honour and hamity of Muslims therefore the Zionist and Satanic powers detecting the apathy of the Islamic World put the Qibla-e-Awwal on fire, holy soil of Palestine was snatched from Muslims, Bait Al-Maqdas was made Zionist capital and holy shrines of Anbia, Sahaba, Ahle Bait (A.S.), Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.) and Aulia were desecrated. He said the black day of 8 Shawal is shattering the Islamic World by calling upon them to stop the trampling of symbols of Islamic dignity and get the sanctity of those symbols restored that had earlier been razed to ground. He said that if the faithful people did not realized their responsibilities that would not be able to annex Al-Quds Al-Sharif or Kashmir rather their right to live on this world would also be snatched.

            Agha Moosavi appealed all Kalma-reciting Muslims to honour the call of Gunbad-e-Khizra and raise voice of protest in calling upon the Muslim rulers and international organisations to look to their conscience because the ultimate target of the Dajali terrorists is Harmain Sharifain. He expressed his resolve that the nefarious designs of gory terrorists could be thwarted through Muslim unity, botherhood, love with Rasool (SAAW) and Ahle Bait (A.S.), and faithfulness to Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.) so as to overcome the crises faced by the Muslim Ummah. He said no one would have the courage to raise any eyebrow towards Muslims had the ugly act of razing the Jannatul Baqee to ground was not carried out. He lamented that the symbols of non-Muslims are safe on the soil of Hijaz but the Aal-e-Saud is rooting out the holy symbols of Muslims. He said keeping the symbols and memorials of the holy personalities of Islam is the key to keep their message alive.
