Ban on By-Road Pilgrimages Unacceptable, Qasim Ali Qasmi

Shiite News: Chairman Azadari Council Punjab and Leader of Shia Ulema Council Qasim Ali Qasmi has said that he rejects the ban on visiting By-Road Iran and Iraq Pilgrimages.

The foolish and cowardly decision of Federal Interior Minister Senator Mohsin Naqvi has raised many questions in the minds of the public.

Whether the state has failed to provide security to its citizens, or is some external agenda being strengthened? Or is an attempt being made to give the impression that the defenders of the beloved homeland of Pakistan, whose ability and bravery famous all over the world, are helpless in some areas of their own country?

We are not ready to accept any such impression. We believe that the purpose of banning by-road travel is to accept the Indian agenda and surrender to terrorists and show cowardice.

The public also has the right to ask whether pilgrimage is being made impossible for the middle class to boost PIA’s business?

Quaid-e-Millat Jafariya Allama Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi has already announced that Millat Jafariya will never leave the land route used to visit the shrines of the Imams A.S.

Millat has been making sacrifices in the past and will not avoid it in the future either. We request Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to withdraw the ban on pilgrims.
