Allama Raja Nasir demands withdrawal of Ashura 2013 case against Shia Muslims

Accompanied by Sunni parties leaders Sahibzada Hamid Raza and Pir Masoom, Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen chief Allama Raja Nasir Abbas Jafari has demanded yesterday that the fake case against innocent Shia Muslims should be withdrawn after it has been confirmed that those attacked Deobandi sect’s mosque and seminary belonged to the same sect and Shia Muslims had nothing to do with that.

Addressing a press conference in his party’s central secretariat in Islamabad, Allama Raja Nasir further said that their stance vis-à-vis violence in Rawalpindi on Ashura 2013 was vindicated due to arrest of the real culprits by the Pakistan Army as announced by the Director General of Inter Services Public Relations.
“We had earlier made it clear that it was a conspiracy aimed at destabilizing the sensitive garrison city of Rawalpindi by the enemies and those enemies of Pakistan and Islam were involved in that machination but police registered fake cases against innocent Shia Muslims and booked innocent Shia youths that was an unjust act,” he said.
MWM Chief said that under that deep-rooted conspiracy, images of Myanmar Muslim children and terrorists-hit people of Syria were released by the facilitators of the terrorists on social media to incite Deobandis against Shia Muslims in the garb of violence in Rawalpindi on Ashura 2013. He said that terrorists and their facilitators defamed innocent Shia Muslims of Pakistan to hoodwink people belonging to their Deobandi sect.
He said that at least six Shia Imam Bargahs and mosques were set on fire by the terrorists who also burnt the copies of Holy Quran and other sacred symbols. He said that Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif and Law Minister Rana Sanaullah ordered crackdown on innocent Shia Muslims that was totally unfair order.
He also demanded that cases be registered against Punjab Chief Minister and Law Minister Rana Sanaullah over their pro-terrorist orders to victimize Shia Muslims in the wake of Rawalpindi violence in 2013.
Jamiat Ulema Pakistan-Niazi’s leader Pir Syed Masoom Hussain Naqvi, a Sunni leader expressed solidarity with Shia Muslims and said that Sunni and Shia Muslims were jointly fighting the war for the sake of Pakistan.
Sahibzada Hamid Raza of Sunni Ittehad Council thanked Pak Army over unearthing the plot against sectarian harmony through terrorist attacks on Ashura 2013 in Rawalpindi. He said that like Shia Muslims, Sunni Muslims too had nothing to do with the Rawalpindi violence. He said that Punjab chief minister and law minister were linked with the terrorists of banned outfits hence action be taken against them, too.
