Tahaffuz-e-Bunyad-e-Islam Bill 2020 against the Constitution: Moosavi

Islamabad: Patron-in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulema Board Quaid-i-Millat Jafaria Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the Punjab Tahaffuz-e-Bunyad-e-Islam Bill 2020 is contrary to Quran and Sunnah and is against the Constitution of Pakistan.

Peaceful Protest Day will be observed all over Pakistan on Friday 31st July against this step that is aimed is causing damage to the foundations of Pakistan.

He said Pakistan enemy forces should not forget that in response to the attack on Pakistan’s ideology, Tehreek Nifaz-Fiqh Jafaria had seized the Pakistan Secretariat and had launched an 8-month long agitation from the platform of Hussaini Mohaz.

Peaceful agitation is our first step against this bill and we will not shy away from taking any big step to save the foundations of the religion and the motherland, he added.

This bill should be withdrawn forthwith. All powers in the country should keep in mind that we will never allow anyone to turn the country into state of any particular group. We will not let anyone play with the country’s integrity and solidarity who called Pakistan as ‘Paleedistan’ and called Quaid-i-Azam as ‘Kafir-e-Azam’.

The Article 227 of the Constitution clearly indicates that interpretation of Qur’an and Sunnah will be considered acceptable as is interpreted by any sect, accordingly.

The proscribed groups who feel that they could trample the constitutional rights of other sects who are in billions, live in a fool’s paradise. The vicious bill has been brought in favour of those who are committing blasphemy against the Khantoon-e-Jannat Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.).

The position and respect of the Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) is inscribed on the hearts and thus cannot be erased by such bills. We don’t want to impose our faith on others but the beliefs of the Shiite school of thought should not also be tampered with. These views were expressed by him while addressing the office-bearers of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Punjab that called on him at the head of Punjab President Allama Hussain Muqaddasi.

LMoosavi said the passage of the vicious bill just before Muharramul Haram is aimed at thwarting the efforts of the government to keep law and order intact. He said letters have been written to the President, Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Chief of the Army Staff, Chairman Senate, Speaker, and Governor Punjab asking them to fulfil the responsibilities as defenders of the Constitution.

The results of bringing the proscribed parties in the Assemblies are beginning to emerge. Where did the Action Plan go? The undemocratic and extremist attitude of the Speaker Punjab Assembly is regrettable. The remnants of the dictator want to sabotage the ideology of Pakistan and fulfill its abominable agenda. We will not allow the foundations of Pakistan to be hollowed out.

The TNFJ chief said that those who have introduced the bill should tell who removed the name of Imam Hassan (A.S.) — who had studies the Loh-e-Mehfooz in the childhood — from the Khilafat-e-Rashida to damage the history.

He said saying Karam Allah Wajaho to Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib (A.S.) is proven by the Hadees-e-Nabavi (SAAW) therefore they should take off the bandage of biasness from their eyes. What does this bill say about Hazrat Maryam (S.A.) whose piousness is claimed by Allah Himself in Quran and what do they say about Ummul Mumineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) to whom Allah Himself sent His Salam through Gabriel.

In the graveyard Salam is sent to all those who are buried there without any distinction between sinners and pious people; then how the sending salutation on the dearest wife of the Holy Prophet (SAAW), his daughter who is the Sardar of women in the universe and in Paradise can be forbidden.
