Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TJP) ( Urdu: تحریکِ جعفریہ) also called Tehrik-e-Islami is a political party in Pakistan. It was formed in 1979 as Tehrik-e-Nafaz-e-Fiqah-e-Jafaria ( تحریکِ نفاذِ فقہ جعفریہ ), a Shi'ite organization. Its creation coincided with the enforcement of controversial Islamic laws by the then military ruler of Pakistan, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. The Islamic revolution in predominantly Shia Iran around the same time gave an added boost to the organization.

TNFJ was formed by Shi'ite leader Allama Arif Hussain Hussaini, who was assassinated in 1988. It was then led by Allama Hassan Turabi, who himself was killed in 2006. It is currently led by Allama Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi.^[1]

Presently, it is part of the coalition of Islamist political parties Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal that won 11.3 of the popular vote and 53 out of 272 elected members in the previous legislative elections held on 20 October 2002.
