Announcement by the army and political leadership not to give space to terrorists to raise their head again is the true interpretation of the whole nation – Hamid Moosavi

ISLAMABAD, March 20: The Patron-in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulema Board and chief of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said the announcement by the army and political leadership not to give space to terrorists to raise their head again is the true interpretation of the whole nation because the Army Chief had earlier assured that terrorists will be rooted out this year. The government should ensure implementation of all provisions of the National Action Plan and do not allow any reservation that may create any hurdle in it. All decisions should be taken in the light of national and country’s interest because the Armed Force of Pakistan are fighting the war of survival for the country and the nation. The sacrifices of the Pakistan’s Armed Forces and the nation will never let go waste and the rulers should get the nation rid of menace of corruption by following rule of law that can only be possible when the constitution and law will be given priority. These views were expressed by him while addressing the TNFJ elite from the Federal Capital.

Agha Moosavi said that Nawaz government tried to hold talks with terrorists and extremist organisations right from the beginning but such talks failed owing to impracticable conditions put forth, therefore, the terrorists accelerated their activities against the security institutions and the Army leadership decided to launch Operation Zarb-e-Azb to check them and root the terrorism out. Later the government prepared the National Action Plan after holding the All Parties Conference and the Pakistan’s Armed Forces were given a free hand.

The TNFJ chief said that the demand of the military leadership for amendment in the constitution to form military courts so that terrorists are immediately tried and given punishment was accepted. The military courts sent dozens of terrorists to the gallows but unfortunately the network of terrorists could not be rooted out despite Operation Zarb-e-Azb and all other steps.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi lamented that terrorists become successful in targeting security institutions and jawans taking advantage of weaknesses in the security arrangements and also carry out suicide attacks and bomb blasts. Therefore, he added, the government should immediately tighten noose around the banned groups and their facilitators and impose restriction on their activities by changing names and media coverage.
