Shia Zakireen and Waizeen from all over the country have expressed unwavering faith in the leadership of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi

ISLAMABAD, March 7: Shia Zakireen and Waizeen from all over the country have expressed unwavering faith in the leadership of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, announced unconditional support to National Action Plan and Operation Zarb-e-Azb for rooting out terrorism, demanded to stop activities of banned parties working by changing their names and unveil foreign hands facilitating terrorists and complete implementation of the May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi Agreement. Demands to this effect were made in a declaration adopted at the All Pakistan Waizeen and Zakireen Aza-e-Fatima Convention organised under the auspices of Makhdoom Nazakat Hussain Naqvi, Chief Organiser of Tehreek Tahuffaz Wila and Aza at Markazi Imambargah Shah Allah Ditta here. Ulema, Zakireen and Waizeen from all the four provinces participated in the convention under the leadership of Sultan-uz-Zakireen Madah Hussain Shah and Hojjatul Islam Agha Ali Hussain Najfi.

The declaration presented by Zakir Ali Raza Khokhar Advocate highlighted equal sacrifices rendered by Sunni-Shia brethren for creation of Pakistan, first voice raised against Zia’s announcement to make the motherland a sectarian State from Ali Masjid and formation of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya in reaction to such efforts, taking over of Pakistan Secretariat on July 5, 1981 to get their demands accepted by the then rulers, thwarting Zia Martial Law efforts to limit Azadari and Milad-un-Nabi processions by courting more than 14,000 arrests in 8-month long agitation from the Hussaini Mohaz of Tehreek Naffaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya which culminated into signing of May 21, 1985 Junejo-Moosavi Agreement under which restrictions of Azadari were vanished but the dreams of Millat-i-Jafariya for representation in State institutions and for equal rights remained unfulfilled to-date.

The declaration also demanded to arrest the culprits responsible for incidents of terrorism in various cities of the country and give them exemplary punishment and lodge protest with the countries giving financial aid to terrorists at diplomatic level so as to stop the foreign aid openly coming to them. The declaration also demanded to stop coverage of those elements on the TV channels who have been banned even thrice. They expressed concern for putting the Ulema, Zakireen and organisers of Majalis-e-Aza in Schedule 4 just to fill in the blank while miscreant elements were given clean chit and termed that this activity is tantamount to inciting the peaceful citizens against the National Action Plan. Therefore, the declaration said, the Army Chief and the Prime Minister should take notice of this situation. The declaration rejected any impression of putting restrictions on books carrying beliefs and ideologies of the Maktab-e-Tashih and demanded to implement the Peace Formula presented by the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya in the Supreme Court earlier.

The gathering paid homage to Shia Waizeen and Zakireen who fell victim to terrorism. They include: Hamad-e-Ahle Bait Mohsin Naqvi, Allama Nasir Abbas Multan, Zakir Alamdar Hussain Shah Shorkot, Zakir Riaz Hussain Shah Moch, Allama Talib Hussain Kirpalvi, Fazil Alvi and others including journalists, lawyers, army men, doctors, engineers, general citizens and minor children.

The central office-bearers of the Tehreek Tahaffuz Wila and Aza Zakir Ijaz Hussain Jhandvi Bahawalpur, Zakir Jafar Tayyar, Zakir Musa Khan Mianwali, Zakir Yasir Ghaffar Rawalpindi, Allama Faraz Haider Kazmi Sialkot, Allama Haider Syed Khairpur, Zakir Mukhtar Hussain Shah Muzaffargarh, Zakir Imdad Hussain Shirazi Sargodha, Zakir Ali Naqi Bhakkar and many other Zakireen and Waizeen, organisers of Majalis-e-Aza, Azadaran, Matmi Salars coming from all over the country participated in the convention. They approved the declaration by raising vociferous slogan of “Labbaik Ya Hussain”. Majlis-e-Aza will be held in the second session of the Aza-e-Fatimia Convention.
