Chowrangi

One year has passed since the operation on the Lal Masjid, Jamia Hafsa and Jamia Faridiya, and still there is no clear picture we have about the death counts and the last time negotiations between the Ghazi brothers of the Lal Masjid and the security forces and local administration of Islamabad.

Lal Masjid operation went on for a week, and it was started after the administration of Lal Masjid took law in its hand. They took a prostitute hostage, and then they arrested some Chinese prostitutes and asked some people to not to indulge in sinful activities. This was the sin of the Lal Masjid administrators and their students. Though one may argue with the procedure the Lal Masjid administrators followed, but their lofty goals were noble. and what they wanted is just to have Sharia Law in the country, which was formed on the name of Islam.

As the one year completed to the Lal Masjid operation, Shuhda-e-Lal Masjid Conference was held in Islamabad. In a written statement released here on behalf of the wife of Abdul Rashid Ghazi, Humaira Rashid Ghazi it is said that the setting up of Markaz-e-Ghazi has been decided for looking after the Islamabad Lal Masjid operation affected families.

Authorities should not hinder such activity by the relatives and friends of Ghazi brothers, as it would only make the matters grave and more alarming.
