Youm-e-Ashur commemorating the beloved grandson of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) and the son of Ali (A.S) and Syeda Batool (S.A), Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S) and his seventy-two companions was held across Pakistan including Azad Kashmir, Gilgit Batltistan besides rest of the world with traditional religious spirit and respect.
The central Ashura procession of Rawalpindi brought out from Imambargah Ashiq Hussain Teli Mohalla that was led by Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi that also housed the Shabeeh e Zuljanah, Alam e Abbas, Taaziya, Taboot and Gehwara Shehzada Ali Asghar (A.S). While addressing to the media and Azadars on this occasion, Quaid-e-Millat-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi vowed that we can accept death but will never accept any restrictions on Azadari. Every government tries to present Muharram is a threat, we never fear from death as we are the followers of Hazrat Ali (A.S).
We always cooperate with administration to thwart conspiracies of the enemies and ensure peace in the country however, we will never compromise on Azadari. We accepted imprisonments and went to jails to foil dictator’s plan to restrict Azadari and our eight-months long agitation resulted in the achievement of Moosavi-Junejo agreement that ensures elimination of restrictions from Azadari. He stressed upon the government to act upon Moosavi-Junejo agreement.
In response to a question about restriction on Azadari procession in occupied Kashmir, Agha Moosavi said that Azadari is being impeded in Islamic Republic of Pakistan also. Blocking and restricting traditional, new processions and even in-house Ladies Majalis is a violation of fundamental rights.—PR
