Allama Jawad Naqvi under fire for defending State Policies

Shiite News: Renowned religious scholar Allama Jawad Naqvi being criticized for supporting the government policies, Allama Jawad Naqvi, has instructed believers not to travel to Iraq by road for Arbaeen in his unique and critical statement.

His statement has come at a time when all the major Shia scholars and religious leaders of Pakistan have unanimously demanded that the government of Pakistan to open by-road routes for Arbaeen pilgrims.

Departing from the collective stance of the nation, Allama Jawad Naqvi’s support for the state’s position is being viewed with concern by many quarters.

Critics say that as always, this time too, when the nation was united in one line, Allama Sahib took his own separate path, which dealt a blow to the unity of the nation.

This is not the first time that his narrative has appeared to be in line with state priorities, but often his style of speech gives the impression that he is expressing the state’s position rather than that of the nation.
