Religious scholars of different schools of thoughts should openly point out
suicidal bombers and their hide out – Altaf Hussain

London, 6 February, 2010

Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr. Altaf Hussain has said that yazidi terrorists have refreshed in our minds the wounds and brutalities of the yazidi army in the great event of Karbala by attacking mourners of Ahl-e-Bait and Imam Hussain with suicidal attacks and martyring them on the occasion of Chehlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain-whose grand father was no other than Prophet Muhammad.

In his statement Mr. Altaf Hussain has expressed his heartfelt condolences with the families of the martyrs and prayed for the quick recoveries of the injured.

He said that in the wake of attacks on the mourners of Hussain by the yazidi forces, a large number of MQM volunteers and workers reached Jinnah Hospital to donate blood and to perform rescue work but nefarious designs of yazidi elements came into actions again and a shuddering bomb blast took place in Jinnah Hospital in which dozens of MQM workers, MQM Union Council Nazim along with mourners and persons belonging to Christian community also became victim of the blast and took martyrdom.

Mr. Altaf Hussain expressed his utterly heartfelt condolences over the most tragic loss of life of the mourners including MQM workers and prayed for the quick recovery of the injured persons.

By clearly and vehemently addressing preachers and religious scholars belonging to various schools of thoughts such as Jafria, Sunnah and Deo-Bandi and all others, Mr. Altaf Hussain went on to roar that this is not the time for eye wash through emotional tirades and superficial rhetoric but the time demands that by keeping in view the self-less sacrifices of Ahl-e-Bait, women of the family of Prophet Muhammad, martyrdoms and martyrs of noblest and great event of Karbala and above everything else sacrifices rendered by the Prophet himself for the glory and re-generation of Islam, the real ugly and dirty faces of suicide attackers and terrorists be exposed to the general public by telling them about the fortifications and hidden places where such barbarians are living and it must also be known who is patronizing them and under whose support, command and shelter these brutal elements are playing holi with the blood of totally innocent and harmless people.

Mr. Altaf Hussain sincerely expressed his belief that by taking account the gravity of the matter and sheer necessity of the time and age that our preachers and religious scholars NOW will come to the Clarion Call and rescue of the people by tearing apart the blanket of disguise and deception and by taking into considerations the immortal sacrifices of the Ahl-e-Bait and Prophet’s family, the Ulemas will play their due role and by moving in the footsteps of Prophet and Ahl-eBait will take people into confidence without fear of any sort and would expose the real culprits behind such inhuman and most heinous crimes against humanity, Islam and Pakistan.

Finally, Mr. Altaf Hussain stated that if my words are taken seriously and if Ulemas act in accordance with the genuine requirements of the times and if they go on to deliver in the true path of justice, fair play and honesty then it will be the REAL service to humanity, Islam and for our beloved Pakistan.
