Co-Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and former President Asif Ali Zardari said on Friday that Hazrat Imam Hussain’s supreme sacrifice contains pristine message for all times, resist tyranny, oppression and falsehood at all costs and under all circumstances.
In a message on the Yom-e-Ashur, he said that Imam Hussain stands as the beacon of light illumining the path for generations to traverse. On this day, we pay homage to the martyrs of Karbala and also pledge to resist tyranny, injustice, and oppression, he said.
Tyranny and oppression has stealthily reared its ugly head in new forms and new manifestations in our land albeit behind the façade of pious intentions. The need for emulating the example of Imam Hussain in resisting injustice and oppression is quite obvious, he said.
Let us reiterate our resolve that no matter what the odds we shall neither submit before oppression and injustice nor let the evil have its sway, the PPP Co-Chairman said. The former President also asked the people to rise above sectarianism and forge unity among their ranks.
