HYDERABAD: President
Tehreek-e-Jafferia Pakistan Hyderabad Division Allama
Altaf Hussain Al-Hussaini, while condemning the removal
of an Alam from Imambargah Naqvi, Pathan Colony, has
given 48-hour ultimatum to the Cantonment Board, owners
of a petrol pump and former councillor of the Cantonment
Board for its restoration. Addressing a press conference
at the Hyderabad Press Club along with Syed Mehboob Ali
Shah Jehanian, Syed Tajammul Hussain Shah Naqvi and
others, he said the dismantling of Alam-e-Abbas had hurt
the feelings of the Shia community. He said the
authorities of Cantonment Board dismantled the Alam from
near a petrol pump on the main Pathan Colony Road, which
was established 20 years ago on a plot which was issued
on the name of one Ghulam Ali. He said the act was aimed
at creating sectarian strife. He demanded of the higher
authorities to look into the matter and re-establish the
Alam at same place.
