Rawalpindi, The head of Tehreek Nifaaz Fiqh Jafariya, Allama Aghazi Hussain Muqdisi, representing Mukhtar Organization Pakistan, a sub-organization of TNFJ, addressed a gathering at the National Press Club in Islamabad yesterday. Expressing regret over unjustified police violence and arrests during a peaceful mourning rally commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Jafar Sadiq, Muqdisi urged the government to take action against incompetent officers exacerbating the situation.
According to Tehreek Nafaze Fiqhe Jafariya, senior leadership, scholars, and innocent mourners were released late at night. Muqdisi emphasized that despite attacks on rights, silence would not prevail, asserting that protest is a fundamental right. He underscored the need for international attention to restore destroyed holy places, citing the damaged grave of Hazrat Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS) as a pressing concern. Muqdisi advocated for the Mousa peace formula as the sole solution for sustainable peace, urging the government to focus on restraining banned extremist groups instead of targeting peaceful citizens and organizations.
Despite facing obstruction from Islamabad Police, TNFJ workers and scholars maintained peaceful conduct during the procession from the Press Club to D Chowk. The 10th anniversary of the Righteousness of the Family of Muhammad concluded with solemnity and determination, reaffirming the commitment to the noble goals of the Ahlul Bayt Athar (a.s.) and the noble Companions (ra). Mourning ceremonies and coffin processions were observed nationwide in cities including Quetta, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Muzaffarabad, among others.
