The Youm-e-Ashoor in memory of Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his 72 diehard companions was observed with traditional religious spirit, devotion and respect throughout the country

RAWALPINDI, October 14: The Youm-e-Ashoor in memory of Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his 72 diehard companions was observed with traditional religious spirit, devotion and respect throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Tuesday. In Rawalpindi, main Youm-e-Ashoor procession was taken out from Imambargah Ashiq Hussain Teli Mohallah, Imambargah Col. Maqbool Hussain and Imambargah Hifazat Ali Shah Bohar Bazar. Mourners of Imam Hussain (A.S.) performed Zanjeer-Zani to express their devotion to the Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.). Zuljinah, Alam Mubarik, Taazia, Mehndi Shahzada Qasim (A.S.), Gehwara Masoom Ali Asghar (A.S.), Taboot Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) and other Taburrakaat were included in the Ashoora procession. 

 The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi participated in the procession, offered Ziarat of the taburrakaat and performed Matamdari. Talking to media and Azadars on this occasion, Agha Moosavi said that the honour and dignity of Muharramul Haram is recognised even before Islam in which murder, massacre and riot were banned. In the same month in 61 Hijra, Nawasa-e-Rasool (A.S.) and his offspring and companions were martyred. The Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) gave a clear message to the world forever that no one like him can give himself in Baia’at to a person like Yazid ever. For this refusal to do so, Imam (A.S.) sacrificed himself along with his near and dear ones in the hot plain of Karbala leading to revival of Islam. Therefore, he said, identifying Hussain (A.S.) is necessary before identifying Islam. He preferred to be sacrificed instead of giving his hand in that of Yazid, that is why Moeenuddin Ajmeri uttered a couplet on this situation. 

 The TNFJ chief said that Pakistan is surrounded by enemies internally and externally, has given sacrifice of more than 70 thousand persons that is why National Action Plan was introduced and it is must to implement all its 20 points in letter and spirit. He said the guarantors of the country’s integrity should not feel themselves along as the whole nation is behind them all the time. He demanded to impose Fourth Schedule on banned parties as its implementation on unbanned organisations is tantamount to causing harm to the National Action Plan. Answering a question he strongly condemned the restriction on Ashoora processions in Held Kashmir and called upon the government to adopt a strong point of view on Kashmir that should be in line with the United Nations Resolutions. He has given a message to the nation and the Pakistan’s Armed Forces to become a concrete wall against India and no power on earth can cause harm to them. He said all Makatab are united on the issue of defending the frontiers and its development like they were united at the time of creation of

Pakistan. Answering a question about security arrangements, he said suspending the mobile service is a good step, terrorists should be arrested who are enemies of peace.

 A large number of mourners engaged themselves in heavy Zanjeer-Zani and Matam-e-Qamah at Bohar Bazar Chowk, Trunk Bazar, and Habib Bank Chowk. They were raising the slogans of ‘Ya Hussain, ‘Ya Abbas’, ‘Haey Akbar’, ‘Haey Qasim’, ‘Haey Sakina’, ‘Haey Asghar’, ‘Haey Piyaas’ and every eye was wet in grief. The procession turned into a big rally after reaching Fawwara Chowk where addressing the participants, Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi said the invaluable sacrifice of Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) was for survival of religion of Islam and humanity. 

 A resolution presented by Abu Naseem Bokhari, District Secretary TNFJ Rawalpindi was unanimously adopted amongst the vociferous slogans. The resolution, while fully supporting the National Action Plan against terrorism, lamented that some of the provisions of the NAP were not being implemented because those parties who have changed their names even three times after being banned were still working independently by changing their names as a result of which terrorism could not be rooted out completely. 

 In another resolution the Azadaran-e-Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) expressed complete solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiris and strongly condemned the occupation forces for stopping the Azadari processions there. Reiterating the words of Agha Moosavi, it made it clear that Hussainiat cannot be suppressed by imposing restrictions on Hussainiat rather it would ignite the love for Shahadat and freedom in Kashmiris. Another resolution paid tributes to the Pakistan’s brave armed forces for their great success in Operation Zarb-e-Azb. It said the Gen. Raheel is the best General in the world who has made his bravery known to the whole world by crushing the terrorists. It demanded from the government to make legislation for extending the tenure of the Army Chief to 4 or 5 years as it was in the past. The resolution said that the ‘Nara-e-Haideri’ of the Pakistan Army was stopped by a dictator; as Haider-e-Kararar (A.S.) does not belong to Shias only, therefore he is the hero of all Muslims.

 The resolution expressed its concern that the banned parties were still roaming about freely and giving interviews on media that is tantamount to trampling the National Action Plan while peaceful citizens have been included in the Fourth Schedule just to fill in the blank on many places, on the other. Therefore, it urged the government to stop the fill in the blank culture and put her hand on the real miscreants and the chain of funding to terrorists should be broken. It demanded operation in Punjab and Islamabad on the pattern of Karachi and the terrorists and facilitators should be arrested and taken to the task.

 The resolution made it clear that political unrest and calls to jam the capital prior to the Chehlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) are tantamount to insulting the Sha’air-e-Hussaini (A.S.) and those who are doing so are unaware of the Sunnat-e-Nabavi. It said that Imam Hussain (A.S.) does not belong only to a single Maktab rather he is the hero of the whole humanity. The resolution questioned the government ministers that they do not hesitate in going to festivals and programmes of Hindus, Christians, and Zoroastrians, then why they feel ashamed in joining Azadari programmes? The resolution demanded to stop ignoring the Maktab-e-Tashih in all State institutions including Islamic Ideology Council, Federal Shariat Court, Ruet-e-Hialal Committee. The resolution demanded release of Bahrain’s Shaikh Ali Salman and Ali Al-Nimr of Qateef who are suffering strict punishment owing to their political demands. Another resolution felt thankful for creation of Muharram Control Room in Federal Interior Ministry for solution of Azadari problems and demanded that these arrangements should remain intact till the Ayyam-e-Hussain up to 8th Rabiul Awwal and then for Milad-e-Mustafa programmes from 12 to 17 Rabiul Awwal. 

The thousands of participants of the Ashoora procession expressed their unwavering confidence in the guiding and courageous leadership of the Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya and resolved to join his call whenever it is made for achievement of his pious targets of ‘Wila’ and ‘Aza’  and promotion of defence so as to promote peace in the motherland. The resolution expressed their belief and faith that the Sunnat-e-Zainab i.e. Azadari is the most effective and peaceful protest against the oppressed in the universe which they will continue forever.

Later, after performing Zanjeer-Zani at Fawwara Chowk, the participants of the main Ashoora procession reached Raja Bazar and Purana Qila where Zuljinah processions taken out from Imambargah Kashmirian Tyre Bazar and Darbar Shah Chan Chiragh also merged into the main procession. The main Chehlum procession terminated at Imambargah Qadeem after passing through Jamia Masjid Road and Imambara Chowk. Mukhtar Students Organisation District Rawalpindi had set up Azadari Camp at Fawwara Chowk and Mukhtar Organisation had set up Azadari Camp near Imambargah Qadeemii Hussaini Mohaz where MSO and MO workers and children belonging to Mukhtar Generation performed their duties. Ibrahim Scouts had set up Medical Camps at Habib Bank Chowk, Raja Bazar and Jamia Masjid Road to facilitate the Matmis. Office-bearers of Divisional and District Muharram Committees of the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya and MF volunteers remained with the procession throughout along with heavy contingent of police.
