The meetings held by the Prime Minister and the President of Pakistan attempted to corner Maktab e Tashayy; the government must not uproot the foundations of the state by ignoring established schools of thoughts - Hamid Moosavi

ISLAMABAD, April 26: The Patron in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulama Board, Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the meetings held by the Prime Minister and the President of Pakistan attempted to corner Maktab e Tashayyo. Government must not uproot the foundations of the state by ignoring established schools of thoughts. We will keep bleeding for the protection of motherland but without compromising our fundamental rights. The vague formula of Corona lockdown needs to be abandoned and a symmetric policy must be adopted for the places of worship, markets and factories. Government’s campaign is falsely indicating that the entire Corona disease is spreading only from Masajid and Mazars (shrines). Ignorance of the decision-making authorities is a disrespect to the entire nation. No change in the benevolence and cordiality extended to the proscribed groups has been observed as the leaders of banned outfits are rubbing salt on the wounds of the victims of terrorism by showing up in all meetings and institutions of the state. He said this while addressing to the members of Tehreek e Nifaz e Fiqah Jafariya’s organizing committee for Ayyam ul Huzn that will be commemorated across the country with complete religious respect to mark the death anniversary of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadeeja al Kubra (S.A).

Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi noted that Pakistan was founded by the joint efforts and sacrifices of Shia and Sunni brothers. The architect of Pakistan Allama Muhammad Iqbal belonged to the Sunni school of thought while the founder of Pakistan was a Shia and their words and deeds reflected the spirit of unity and brotherhood however, it is a tragic fact that after the sad demise of Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, his principles and ideologies were abandoned and discrimination against Maktab e Tashayo was also ignited besides discriminating against the people of different provinces and races residing in the country. Those who used to say “Yes boss” for everything, were presented as the representatives as the decision-makers remained unaware of the aspirations and problems of common people which eventually resulted in disintegration of the motherland. He said that the discriminatory behaviors rapidly flourished during the eras of dictatorship. Politicians who were trained during the dictatorship of Zia ul Haq are still following the same paths of discrimination which is like a poison for the country’s stability and national unity. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Maktab e Tashayyo has been deprived of its true representation in all government institutions right from the Council of Islamic ideology to the Royat e Hilal Committee. Institutions founded for Islamization are filled with the leaders of proscribed groups nurtured by the foreign funding. The membership of national institutions is being distributed like inheritance to the descendants of the same groups which is a clear violation of the directives set out by Allama Iqbal and Quaid e Azam.

Agha Moosavi further said that those saying “Yes boss” on everything have been a desire and need of the governments in every era, people who cannot even get a word or line amended during a meeting can never be considered as the representatives of a nation. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi appealed to all Muslims of Pakistan to offer special prayers for the eradication of Corona pandemic and share the grief and pains of those deprived and destitute who have been hit hard by the current lockdown.
