#Pakistan - FOUR SENIOR SHIA ISLAMIC SCHOLARS GAGGED AS NO CHANGE SEEN UNDER PTI GOVT

Pakistani Shia Muslims see no change even under the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf because ban on entry and speeches of many qualified, senior, law-abiding, pro-peace and moderate Shia Islamic scholars continues. Allama Sheikh Mohsin Ali Najafi, Allama Shifa Najafi, Allama Amin Shaheedi and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas Jafari are not allowed to address Majalis (mourning congregations).

These four qualified and senior Islamic scholars have no history of sectarianism. They always preach love, peace, unity and tolerance. They promote Islamic values and highlight the sacrifices of great Martyrs of Karbala and their leader Imam Hussain (AS) against the forces of tyranny.
It is also very much unfortunate that Allama Raja Nasir, Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen’s secretary general, is also named in the list of those gagged by PTI government. Allama Raja Nasir-led MWM remained an ally of PTI in elections 2018.
Shia Muslims demand that they would not tolerate gagging of law-abiding and qualified senior Islamic scholars. They said change has not come to Pakistan even under the PTI government of Imran Khan and incumbent government too continues to equate the victims of terrorism with the perpetrators of terrorism. They turned down this discriminatory policy targeting Shia Muslims and their qualified religious scholars who never preached anything that could be said violation of law.
