PRESS RELEASE
A special meeting of the Hazara
International Forum’s council was convened by the Chairman Haji
Marzooq Ali on Sunday the 12th of September here in
Walthamstow, London.
The meeting was
opened with the recitation of Surah Fatiha for the martyrs of
the recent Meezan Chowk tragedy and thereafter the Council
discussed the incident in detail. The meeting members all agreed
that there was a malicious ill will involved on the behalf of
the rally organizers in setting up the unsuspecting and innocent
Hazara youth to the exceptionally brutal and merciless massacre.
The so called religious leaders even shamed the Taliban cruelty
in pursuit of their foreign masters’ objectives and proved
themselves a dutiful servant once again. They were in full
knowledge of the fact that the stage of carnage and bloodbath
was awaiting the naive youths and succeeded in herding them to
Meezan Chowk where there were no advanced security arrangements
in place. There are reliable sources confirming that the
moulanas leading the procession, kept saying we have been
ordered to move on to Meezan Chowk and not to assemble at the
suggested and security swept Mali Bagh. It’s not the first
time they have played this game and the events of 6th
of July’ 1985, the murder of Ibrahim Shaheed and numerous other
incidents stand witness to their obnoxious intents.
They torched
Quetta city to flames and burned the flags of a leading nation
and its ally at the instigation of a neighbouring nation
internationally recognised as the “Excess of the Evil”, merely
in an attempt to send a message that if they are attacked, this
is a glimpse of what they are capable of doing. Their goal
behind the ruthless episode was to get the story published in
the western media, with the simple motto – the more the dead,
the bigger the news.
Hazara
international Forum and British Hazara Community is deeply
saddened by the catastrophic occurrence and sympathizes
earnestly with the guileless affected. We call upon the Hazara
nation to recognise the true faces of such Islamic religious
undertakers and make them accountable for their evil deeds. We
urge that the Hazara Youth stay away from such senseless
provocations and not to become a tool to the ambitions and
interests of the deceptive forces. HIF also demands that the
government of Pakistan and law enforcement agencies initiate the
legal proceeding against the rally in-charges for violating the
provisions of section 144 CrPC and breaking the pre agreed terms
and route of the procession.

Ali – Chairman

HIF Council, members and British Hazara Community) |
