The President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Sardar Mohammad Masood Khan has said that Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions by sacrificing their lives for a supreme cause had set an enduring precedence for the freedom-loving people, and the oppressed nations. “The Karbala incident will continue to inspire all humanity to offer sacrifices to get rid of the oppression and injustice” the President said in a special message on the eve of Ashur day,
He said that the great sacrifice offered by Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) had left a lesson for the Muslims to sacrifice even their lives, if the need be. The people of occupied Kashmir following the suit were offering great sacrifices for the cause of freedom from the Indian shackles.
He asserted that the martyrdom of the great Imam and his companions give us the lesson of patience, courage, selflessness and true commitment to religion. Their sacrifice had saved mankind from the gravest destruction, he added.
“The message of Karbala is very clear and unambiguous. The purpose of those who went to Karbala was not to seize a piece of land or to gain a throne, but to preserve and uphold basic human values. It was a battle between right and wrong and between justice and injustice”, he asserted.—INP
