ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: In commemoration of the supreme blood-stained sacrifice rendered by the grtandson of Prophet (SAWW) Imam Hussain (AS) along with his near and dear ones for elevation of Deen o Shariat in the burning desert of Karbala, central procession of Zuljinah, Alam, Taboot and Gehwara of Shahzada Ali Asghar (AS) led by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi was taken out from Markazi Masjid and imambargah Jamiatul Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad.

Tens of thousands of azadaraan e Mazloom e Karbala besides dozens of matmi groups participated.

Talking to electronic and print media men during the procession, Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi said Pakistan was formed in the name of La Ilaha Illallah which was saved by Hussain ibne Ali (AS)’s matchless sacrifice. All agents of colonial chief including NATO desire to wipe out Pakistan, therefore to save it we would have to adopt Hussain ibne Ali (AS) – the foundation of La Ilaha.

He expressed deep grief that the politicians could not remain patient even for ten days who damaged the respect of Muharram by doing their politics during ashra e muharram although people of dark ages were also use to honour this month. Azadari is the biggest protest and whoever wants to protest he must participate in it. All Muslims Sunnis and Shias without any discrimination rather every human being is presenting condolence to the Prophet (SAWW) of his son Imam Hussain (AS) while constant music programs being aired on media during Ashrta e Muharram have hurt the hearts of all Muslims. TNFJ has set up Muharram Azadari Cell for resolution of problems of Azadaran and establishment of peace. Cooperation of Central ministry of interior with them is satisfactory while Punjab government as always has not cooperated with azadaran. Don’t consider our nobleness our weakness, we can turn our processions towards any direction but we always have preferred integrity and stability of motherland and will do so in future because love for this holy land is part of our Imam (belief); wee would not let anyone to harm it.

The TNFJ chief reminded that under 80 and 85 Junejo-Moosavi agreement the government is bound to cooperate with azadaran. It is regrettable that whenever the current rulers of Punjab come to power they fanned biases and prejudice. In their rule in 86, 26 imambargahs and mosques were torched in Lahore but they did not care.

In response to a question, Agha Moosavi stressed that whether anyone make arrangements or not, we will keep azadari continue; we are not afraid of death; we are believers of that Ali who had said whether death comes to me or I go to death, I love death more than the love of a child for his mother milk.

Answering another question, he made clear that there is no Sunni Shia conflict in Pakistan; unfortunately Pakistan has become a battle field for other countries; terming the war of those who fight for pait (tummy) and aid fight of sects is tantamount to enmity with Pakistan and Islam.

He said Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq were preambles while the actual target of colonial powers is Pakistan for which fall they are using all tactics.

Meanwhile, the matmi procession performing noha khwani and seena zani reached Muhammadi Chowk G-9/2 while touching through its designated routes. There it turned into a gathering. Addressing thousands of azadaran e Hussain (AS), Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi said grief for Hussain (AS) is not inheritance of any particular group or school of thought rather his qayam was for annihilation of oppression and barbarism and for revival of divine principles and Muhammadi shariah.

On this occasion, azadaran e Hussain expressed their resolve that they would not hesitate in giving any sacrifice for defense of motherland and spread of shia sunni brotherhood, besides following the Code of Azadari issued by Quaid I Millat I Jafariya Agha Moosavi during Ayyam e Aza that will continue till Rabiul Awwal 8, and thus would perform Ajre Risalat.

Later, azadaran extended condolence of Mazloom e Karbala by performing Zanjeer zani. Passing through its designated routes, the procession culminated at Jamia Imam as-Sadiq (AS) Karachi Company. There matamdaraan belonging to Wanhaar region did noha khwani and Zanjeer zani in very unique style.

Mukhtar Students Organization, MO, Ibrahim Scouts, Mukhtar Generation, Mukhtar Force and Ummul Banin WF participated in arrangements of the procession. Sabeel e Hussaini was set up during the procession.
Besides TNFJ Islamabad’s Muharram Committee members and top officers of administration, heavy contingent of police remained with the procession.

Concluding dua was done by Allama Zahid Abbas Kazmi. At the end of the procession, the chief organizer of the procession Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari thanked all participants, matamdaraan, azadaraan and district administration.
