Patron-in-Chief of the Supreme Shia Ulema Board Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has strongly condemned the worst form of terrorism during Friday prayers at Shia Jamia Masjid Kocha Risaldar in Peshawar and termed it an attack on Islam and Pakistan.

In a statement, Agha Moosavi said that the torch-bearers of Hussainiyyat are not going to bow their heads in front of those who are painting mosques and Imambargahs with the blood of innocent.

He said relaxation given to the proscribed parties is responsible for such acts. He said had National Action Plan been implemented in letter and spirit then the enemy would not have succeeded in repeating the history of APS. He said the eternal enemy India is involved in the latest wave of terrorism.

There is a need to put a hand on the proscribed parties playing the role of facilitators of the enemy. He said that every citizen of Pakistan is the target of the enemy. There is no Sunni-Shia conflict in the country but the Takfiris are trying their best to create such a situation, he added.

The TNFJ chief demanded that foolproof security be provided to the programmes of Ayyam-e-Wiladat of Syeda Zainab bint Ali (S.A.), Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and Hazrat Abbas Alamdar (A.S.) which are to be observed as a part of Hafta Wila-e-Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.); the families of the Shuhada be facilitated, best medical treatment be extended to injured Nimazis; and emergent measures should be enforced the security of sensitive installations and public places including the places of worship.

Agha Moosavi, in his statement issued from the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tashih emphasized that the arch-enemy India has long been after Pakistan, which is evidenced by the arrest of the dangerous Indian spy Kulbhushan.

He said India is carrying out cowardly acts of terrorism to divert attention from their atrocities against innocent Kashmiris in the Occupied Kashmir. The bloody terrorist attack on Shia Jamia Masjid in Peshawar followed by blasts in Quetta is a continuation of the Shahadat of innocent children of APS Peshawar a few years ago the purpose of which is to weaken and destabilize Pakistan which is set on the path of development.

Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Pakistan Army is continuing the Operation Raddul Fasaad to shatter the Indian supported terrorists, who are playing the game of terrorism out of fear.

Therefore, he advised the government to implement the National Action Plan in its true spirit by coming out of the shackle of expediencies and fix about 82 proscribed groups besides taking concrete measures to protect the lives and properties of the people. He also advised the people to remain alert and keep a strict eye on miscreants so as to thwart the conspiracy of our combined enemy through mutual unity.

Meanwhile, Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya staged peaceful demonstrations throughout the country against the bloody terrorism and demanded from the government to take stern action against the terrorists.
