Markazi Matmi protest procession RAWALPINDI, December 24: The Markazi Matmi protest procession was taken out in Rawalpindi on Monday on the occasion of country-wide “Youm-e-Inhidaaam Jannatul Baqee” observed on the call of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi. Thousands of people participated in the procession lodgeding a strong protest against the destruction of holy graves in the Saudia, Matmi groups performed Matamdari and Nauha-Khwani while giving ‘pursa’ to the Holy Prophet (SAW) on the destruction of holy graves of his beloved daughter Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.), Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.) and Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.). The Matmi procession started at the conclusion of Majlis-e-Aza held at Imambargah Nasir Al-Aza and was led by Ulema-e-Karaam belonging to different schools of thought, office-bearers of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan, Mukhtar Force, Mukhtar Students Organisation, religious and Matmi organisations and Salars of the Matimi groups. Participants of the rally were raising vociferous slogans against the destruction of holy graves and in favour of reconstruction of the same. Matamdari and Nauha-Khwani continued throughout during the procession and the rally turned out into a big public meeting on reaching Committee Addressing the rally on this occasion, Allama Syed Abu Jafar Naqvi TNFJ Punjab President said the respect of Anbia and Aulaia Allah is like respect and sanctity of religion and Shariat while expressing devotion and love with them is not only a good act but also servitude to Allah. He said keeping the signs of religious elders is an obligation because these pious personalities not only taught us Ma’arafat of Allah and servitude but they were also real champions of Tauheed. TNFJ Central Secretary Information Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi lamented that graves of those personalities who enlightened Shariat and preached religion all over the world were lying destructed for the last 76 years. He threw a challenge on behalf of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi that we guarantee achievement of all occupied Muslim territories and areas including Kashmir and Palestine and solution to the problems faced by the Muslim Ummah if the Muslim rulers get the honour of Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Mualla restored by carrying out reconstruction of the same. Chairman Mukhtar Force, Pakistan, Ch. Abu Baidar Ali said Muslims at large demand achievement of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, reconstruction of Babri Masjid and Dargah Hazrat Bal, they even lodge protest if churches and temples are damaged somewhere but the Muslim rulers were following duplicity in their character and deeds that none of them raises voice of protest against the dilapidated condition of the mazars belonging to Khanwada-e-Risalat. He said if giving pictures of monarchs following religion and Shariat on the Dirham and Deenars, construction of palatial houses from the hard earned money of the people is a right step then in what type of Islam the bulldozing of holy graves of Khanwada-e-Risalat is allowed? A resolution adopted on the occasion followed by vociferous slogans called upon the OIC, United Nations, Arab League and champions of the human rights to give immediate attention towards this important issue and exert pressure on Saudi Arabian government to take practical steps for restoring the honour of these graves through reconstructing the same. Later the procession terminated at Imambargah Col. Maqbool Hussain after marching through Murree Road and Committee Chowk. Matmi caravans drawn from Rawalpindi and suburbs participated in the central Matmi protest procession of “Youm-e-Inhidaam Jannatul Baqee”. Traffic from Committee Chowk to Chandni Chowk was diverted during the procession while a heavy contingent of district administration officials and police escorted the procession.
