Rawalpindi: In a powerful address, Allama Aghazi Hussain Maqdisi, the head of Tehreek Nifaz Fiqh Jafaria Pakistan, highlighted the urgent need for a unified global response to Israeli actions in Palestine and Lebanon, describing them as a moment of concern for Muslims worldwide. His remarks came during a cabinet meeting at the headquarters Maktab Shia Ali Masjid in Rawalpindi, where he also addressed significant domestic issues, including the political stability and constitutional integrity of Pakistan.
According to Tehreek Nafaze Fiqhe Jafariya, Maqdisi emphasized the critical situation in regions like Parachinar and Waziristan, urging the government and opposition to act with foresight and mercy to prevent further deterioration caused by political upheaval. He stressed the importance of adhering to the agreed constitution of 1973, which he described as a symbol of federation and trust among units, warning against reducing it to a mere “wax doll.”
Maqdisi also expressed concerns over the ongoing conflict within the state’s pillars, which he believes poses risks to Pakistan’s foundational stability. He called for enhanced powers for the Pakistan Army and Karam Militia to enforce ceasefires in troubled areas like Parachinar, underscoring the need for effective governance and law enforcement during the Ayam-ul-Hazn, a period of mourning observed by the Shia community.
Reflecting on international affairs, Maqdisi decried the indifference of global organizations towards Israeli aggressions, which he noted as part of a worrying trend that could affect other Muslim nations. He advocated for a strong, joint response to curb these actions and uphold human rights.
The leader concluded his speech by urging the Pakistani government to ensure the protection of constitutional and legal rights, particularly during times of mourning, and announced plans to unveil a strategy for safeguarding religious freedoms. His call to action underscores a critical period for both Pakistan and the broader Muslim community as they navigate internal challenges and external threats.
