Allama Iqbal’s poetry helped Iranians defeat imperialism, says senior Senator

Leader of the House in the Senate Raja Zafarul Haq has said it is Allama Iqbal’s poetry that helped Iranians defeat imperialism.

He and other senators paid glowing tributes to Dr Allama Iqbal in commemoration of his birth anniversary saying the great poet had given a new awakening to Muslims of the sub-continent and all over the world.
Senator Taj Haider recalled that he was surprised when once at Tehran airport, a taxi driver recited a poem of Allama Iqbal by heart on knowing he (Haider) was from Pakistan.
Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed said the Iqbal’s poetry is both progressive and revolutionary, which gives a message of change, adding it was Iqbal who had predicted rise of China in 1932 and decline of capitalism.
The Senate also passed a resolution to pay tribute to prominent Sindhi intellectual and literary figure Muhammad Ibrahim Joyo, who has passed away. The resolution was moved by PPP Senator Sassui Palijo. The House also offered fateha for the victims of latest terrorist attack in Quetta.
Speaking on a point of public importance, Senator Hafiz Hamdullah protested for not providing adequate security to Chairman Senate Raza Rabbani who, according to the senator, is facing life threats.
“JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Deputy Chairman Senate Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, and ANP President Asfandyar were given bulletproof vehicles after they were attacked by terrorists, but why the government is reluctant to provide similar security to the Senate chairman who is facing life threats,” he questioned.
In utter disappoint over the government’s negligence to provide security to him, Rabbani while raising his palms up to his head said, “He seeks security from Allah Almighty, as He is the protector of us all.”
