MFI and KAF Members Protest against the Pakistani Government – New Delhi, India

Because of the atrocities the Pakistani government has committed against members of Mehdi Foundation International and Kalki Avatar Foundation living in Pakistan, our adherents including women and children escaped to India in order to stage a protest rally against the Pakistani government.

Soon after the rally began, the street was filled with media representatives and police. With emotions running high, our members burnt their Pakistani passports, Pakistani flags, and effigies of Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

Due to them burning their passports and thus being in India without proper documentation, our members were subsequently arrested and sent to Tihar Jail.

*Update: In December of 2011, with the help of the United Nations and Indian government, the 65 members of MFI and Kalki Avatar Foundation were finally released from jail and granted refugee status. They were sent to the United States and Canada and are now settled there. We are very grateful to these countries, the United Nations and the Indian government for their support in helping save the lives of our members.

His Holiness Younus AlGohar takes questions from Indian Media in regards to Pakistani members fleeing to India to Protest the Pakistani Government

What are your social plans?

Well, we are a spiritual movement headed by His Divine Grace Ra Gohar Shahi who is the messenger of love. It is not about any religion, it is not about any sectarianism; it is all about humanity, peace and love. And there are thousands of people who follow His Divine Grace Ra Gohar Shahi in Pakistan and all over the world. Even in India, there are people who believe since His Divine Grace has visited India in 1997 and addressed 5000 people here. After that, Lord Ra Gohar Shahi visited America, Canada, Australia, England, all over Europe, and so many other countries in Asia. So our basic principle is Divine Love; unifying the hearts and the souls of the people no matter what religion and sect they belong to.

In the name of freedom, innocent people are being killed. What is your view?

Well as I perceive it, this is a deep rooted problem. We see the conflict of Kashmir started because they were fighting over the land, and then it became a grudge. They lost East Pakistan, which became Bangladesh; and the Pakistani army holds a grudge against the Indian army because they think that India was involved in breaking Pakistan into two pieces. They are holding a grudge against India and ever since the fall of Dhaka in 1971, they have made it their goal and aim to do something nasty to India. These atrocities have risen to an extreme degree and they are infiltrating people, especially Islamic organisations.

The Pakistan government is not sincere in solving Kashmir conflict, simply because they want a land. They have lost a land and they want to regain a part of land; this is because of the grudge they have in their hearts. This is why they are carrying out all these atrocities and terrorist acts. These militant organisations in Pakistan like Lashkar-e-Tayyab, Jaish Mohammad, Harkat-ul-Ansar, Sifaa-e-Sahaba and others have apparently been banned by the government of Pakistan, but undercover the government is supporting them. This is why the atrocities are still being committed at a large scale everywhere within Pakistan and in India also. So you may have realised that any government, whether it was the government of Benazir Bhutto, Nawaaz Sharif, or General Pervez Musharraf, the agenda on the Kashmir conflict is the same because this is a policy matter for the government. This is why they don’t differ on it.

Is it good to kill innocent people?

Well killing innocent people in the name of religion and in the name of God doesn’t justify killing. Killing is just killing and it is not allowed in any religion. And those who are carrying out the butchery and massacre of innocent people, whether they apparently belong to any religion, do not actually belong to any religion. These are the enemies of the humanity, whether they claim to be Muslims or they
