ISLAMABAD: The Patron-in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulema Board and chief of the TehreekNafazFiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the spirit of Mukhtar is needed to get rid of the international colonial powers. This was stated by him while addressing a special function held at Al-Murtaza Thursday on the occasion of country-wide Youm-e-Mukhtar Aal-e-Muhammad (PBUH) (Eid-e-Zehra). Agha Moosavi said that at present the Islamic World and motherland despite being the citadel of Islam are on the colonial target which has become her practice to interfere in Muslim States one by one. He said the colonial powers committed aggression in Afghanistan in the garb of 9/11 and now when making exit is leaving behind the whole trash on Pakistan. He said by committing aggression again on Iraq they not killed innocent people there. He said the colonial powers use Arab League and the OIC to cause damage to Muslims like she did in case of Syria. Agha Moosavi said that one of the great personality from amongst the followers of Imam Hussain (R.A.) was that of Hazrat Mukhtar Saqafi who stayed for the supremacy of the flag of justice and fair-play and to punish the oppressors.

The TNFJ chief said if actions against terrorism were delayed then it would be an open act of enmity against the nation and the country and the coming generations would never forgive the politicians. He called upon the political parties to avoid any hooliganism and utilise all their energy in rooting out terrorism and support the Pakistan’s Armed Forces. He said everyone will have to inculcate the spirit of Mukhtar in him to as to confront and get rid of the international colonial powers and their agents. On the other hand, he added, oppression is replete in Bahrain where the minority is ruling over the majority and one country is playing with the honour of people after committing interference there but the United Nations and the western world do not lend an ear to them because those committing this oppression are their stooges.
