Formation Of Mukhtar Force Pakistan
A group averse of the Pakistan Ideology set at least one and a half dozen mosques and Imambargahs on fire, looted the homes of Momeneen
and Sadaat in Lahore in the month of Muharram in 1986, causing heavy loss in
men and material as a part of their conspiracy to fulfil their heinous designs
and to promote sectarian biases in the country. Unfortunately, all that was
done in the presence of Administration and Police. Armed attacks on Imambargahs
were carried out at a time when all Momeneen were at their homes after Sham-e-Ghariban. There were no security arrangements for Imambargahs. Ruthless
scenes of destruction were witnessed within a span of few hours. The
Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Paksitan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi Al-Najafi
rushed to Lahore to visit the affected areas soon after this incident. Agha
Moosavi, during a Press Conference in Lahore on this occasion held the
Administration responsible for the whole loss besides expressing heart-felt
grief over the destruction of 18 mosques and Imambargahs. At that time no
arrangement to safeguard mosques and Imambargahs existed on self-help
basis. On his return to Rawalpindi from Lahore, the
Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi summoned a
meeting of caretakers of Imambargahs/mosques, licencees, Taazia-Daraan and
organisers of Majalis-e-Aza and Azadari processions. He delivered an historic
address on the topic of Azadari and protection of Sha'air Allah. Later,
addressing a crowded Press Conference on September 28, 1986 at the headquarters
of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan at Ali Masjid, Rawalpindi, he
announced the formation of "Mukhtar Force" as a permanent wing
of the Tehreek. Point of View Providing protection to religious places (Sha'air Allah) during peace, war and
