ISLAMABAD – February 18: Despite sheeted rain and severe cold, thousands of mourners participated in the annual Alam and Zuljinah procession that was taken out from Jamia-tul-Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad under the auspices of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.
Paying homage to grandson of holy Prophet (SAW) and son of Hazrat Ali (A.S.) and Hazrat Fatimah (A.S.), Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his sincere companions for the invaluable sacrifices rendered by them in Karbala, the participants reiterated their resolve to promote message of Hussainiyyat for survival and solidarity of motherland Pakistan, and to promote Sunni-Shia brotherhood, and every conspiracy of enemies of religion and country would be thwarted by unity. Replica of Zuljinah, Alam, Cradle of Ali Asghar (A.S.), Coffin Shahzada Qasim (A.S.) were included in the procession.
At Muhammadi Chowk G-9/2, Khateeb Fateh-e-Farat, Chauhdry Mushtaq Hussain and Syed Nazeer Hussain Shah addressed to Matamdaran-e-Hussain. They said the grief of Imam Aali Muqam (A.S.) is not inheritance of any particular school of thought rather his sacrifice was for human values and Godly principles, that is why every conscious person is indebted to Hussain ibne Ali (A.S.).
The participants while raising vociferous slogans passed a resolution which made it clear that Muharramul Haram is the month of mourning Imam Aali Muqam (A.S.) and is commensurate with the Azadari-e-Imam-e-Mazloom-e-Karbala (A.S.) that is a great worship of the mourners. The resolution said that if there had been no sacrifice of Hussain ibne Ali (A.S.) in Karbala, then there would have neither mosques nor calls for prayers (Azan).
It said that the first Ashra of Muharram is about to end but some provincial governments have not yet formed Azadari Muharram Cells despite several reminders while Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya had set up Azadari Control Rooms on federal and provincial level including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas ahead of Muharram, which re working round the clock. The resolution demanded from the government to issue directions to the administration to cooperate with Azadaran instead of creating problems for them which damages the government credibility.
It made clear that Azadri programmes would remain in continuation without any fear. It urged all makatib-e-fikr to avoid all those acts which are beneficial for our combined enemy. By another resolution, the grand procession lamented that musical and comedy programmes were still continuing on the electronic media which is contradictory to the essence of Pakistans basic ideology.
The resolution said that the world has learnt the lesson of staging protest from Azadari Mazloom-e-Karbala and according to a saying of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi no one is the biggest oppressed than Hussain (A.S.) and no protest is bigger than Azadari. The participants of the procession resolved to fully follow the country-wide Code of Azadari announced by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya and vowed to support every line of action given by him for promotion of Mission of Wila and Aza and achievement of rights of Millat-e-Jafariya Pakistan.
Later, Azadaran extended their profound condolences to Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) by performing Zanjir Zani. The procession culminated at Jamia Imam As-Sadiq Karachi Company after marching through its designated route.
Mukhtar Students Organisation, Ibrahim Scouts, Mukhtar Generation, Mukhtar Force and other religious and political organisations participated in the procession arrangements. Sabeel-e-Hussaini was also arranged during the procession. TNFJ Islamabad Muharram Committee members headed by convener Allama Basharat Hussain Imami, high officials of the Administration and a heavy contingent of police escorted the procession all along its route. Prior to the procession, a Majlis-e-Aza was held at Jamia-tul-Murtaza addressed by Allama Sheikh Ijaz Hussain Modarris, Allama Zawwar Hussain Madni, Zakir Ibne Ali Kazmi and Zakir Alamdar Hussain Shah.
RAWALPINDI – February 16: Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari presided over a meeting of Central Muharram Committee Azadari Cell of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya in Central Control Room to review the arrangements of all programs of Ashra-e-Muharram all over the country. Bokhari addressing the meeting said that by the grace of God Control Rooms were already set up in the Federal Area and all the four provinces including Northern Areas and Azad Kashmir before Muharramul Haram which are working round the clock and are busy in resolving the problems of Azadaran-e-Imam Hussain (A.S.) to their full capacity. He said in some districts, Administration is harassing Azadaran and we have apprised the powers that be in this connection. We have to foresee unity and brotherhood come what may because the supremacy of Islam for which Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) offered the sacrifice of his 72 near and dear ones, desires peace throughout the universe and is the source of unity besides being the centre of hopes pinned by its lovers, Matmis and Azadaran. Therefore, he said, there is need for all schools of thought to avoid any thing that may be beneficial for our combined enemy. Shujaat Bokhari said translation of an Ayah of Surah Aal-e-Imran goes: Do not become like those who became indifferent after the enlightened arguments of Allah and created differences amongst themselves, such people will have to face the wrath of God. He lamented that international colonial powers were continuing oppression and brutality in Afghanistan and Iraq and have made the life of Muslims in Kashmir and Palestine difficult owing to disunity in the Islamic World. Moreover, he said, she desires to create differences in Muslim States by hatching new conspiracies the fresh example of which is the murder of Rafique Hariri in Lebanon. He said if we have to thwart the conspiracies of the international Taghoot then we will have to get rid of all conspiracies of the evil in the light of Hussainiyyat. Convener of Central Muharram Committee Azadari Cell said that the Federal government has set up Muharram Control Room in the Ministry of Interior fulfilling our demand which is a good step towards a right direction but the Administration in the provincial governments, Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas have not yet set up Control Rooms despite inviting their attention towards this issue several times. He made it clear that we had always given priority to the interest of the nation and the country and would continue to work for the welfare of the motherland and its people in future also. Expressing his shock over the loss of life and property in Balochistan and Sarhad provinces owing to floods, he appealed the people to help the affected with an open heart because we will have to share grieves of one another if we have to put Pakistan on road to progress.

He stated this while addressing the office-bearers of TNFJ Provincial Council Punjab at a special meeting held at TNFJ headquarters here on Tuesday. The Punjab Council office-bearers while declaring the formation of Muharram Azadari Control Room by the Federal Government at Ministry of Interior expressed concern that the Provincial Government has not yet formed such a Cell and if has formed then has not yet publicised the same that has sent a wave of concern amongst the Azadaran. They said that Police Administration is harassing the Matmi Azadaran in some districts creating problems. They expressed their concern that Muharramul Haram is a holy month but different channels and more than one and a half dozen cables were still telecasting entertainment and indecent programmes trampling the dignity of Muharramul Haram. Syed Mazhar Ali Shah said that we are thankful to the Federal Government for setting up Muharram Control Room at the Ministry of Interior keeping to past tradition. The Phone Nos. of that Control Room are: 9211223, 9211224 and Fax No. is 9211225 that are operative round the clock. He said we are also in contact with the provinces in this connection. He appealed the President of Pakistan to take notice of such channels while the Information Minister Shaikh Rashid Ahmed, who is a nice man, should interfere forthwith to maintain the dignity of Muharram by stopping all such programmes that may desecrate the religion and the motherland. Mazhar Ali Shah said that the month of Muharramul Haram is commensurate with Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his sincere companions, therefore, their deeds should be highlighted during these days so that our future generations could become secure as the Karbala has preached only fear from Allah. He said the international Taghoot was creating fear and harassment which can only be removed through Karbala.
