ISLAMABAD, September 18: The Chehlum (Arbaeen-e-Hussaini) of Shaheed-e-Azam and Mohsin-e-Insaniyyat Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his 72 diehard companions was observed with traditional religious spirit, devotion and respect throughout the world and the country. Matmi processions were taken out in all cities of the country in which the devotees of Risalat and Hussainiyyat participated without any discrimination of religion and Maslak and paid homage to the evergreen sacrifices of the Nawasa-e-Rasool (A.S.) while unity and brotherhood was also witnessed viz processions, Sabeels and Langar arrangements.

Maqbool Hussain and Imambargah Hifazat Ali Shah Bohar Bazar. Thousands of Azadars participated in the procession while the central leadership of Tehreek e Nifaz e Fiqah Jafariya led the procession.

Addressing the mourners and media during the main procession Chehlum, the provincial president of Tehreek e Nifaz e Fiqah Jafariya Allama Syed Hussain Muqadassi said that in accordance with the Hadees e Mubarak of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP), Imam Hussain (A.S) is the candle of guidance and the arch of eternal success. Muslim Ummah must associate with Imam Hussain (A.S) to be able to get rid of the problems it has been facing. Mourning Imam Hussain (A.S) is the Sunnah of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP). Government must ensure appropriate arrangements for Zaireen as made for Hajj. Pakistani Zaireen have to go through numerous problems, government must fulfill due responsibilities. The Code of Azadari formulated by Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi will be followed till 8^th of Rabi ul Awal. Restrictions on Azadari and unjust FIRs by the Punjab government are strongly condemnable. Proscribed organizations are roaming freely while Azadars are being booked in FIRs and Schedule-IV. Azadari is our fundamental right that will never be compromised. To clutch banned outfits, government must ensure implementation of the National Action Plan. Allama Hussain Muqadasi said that the problems faced by Zaireen including that of Visa issuance, Security and immigration must be resolved on priority basis. Special arrangements must be made to move Zaireen stuck at boarder areas to Iraq. Transparency must be maintained in providing relief to flood victims. Continued political confrontation during Ayyam e Aza e Hussaini (A.S) is a joke with Islamic values. Commending the services of the members of security agencies in Azadari processions, Allama Syed Hussain Muqadasi said that unity of all schools of thoughts demonstrated on the occasion of Arbaeen e Hussaini is worth appreciating. Allama Mohsin Ali Hamdani, Agha Syed Muhammad Murtaza Moosavi advocate, Agha Syed Ali Rooh ul Abbas Moosavi advocate, Allama Zahid Abbas Kazmi, Allama Shabeeh ul Hassan Kazmi, Allama Syed Waqar Qummi, Shuakat Abbas Jafri and other dignitaries were also present during the media talk.
