So they found people within the Shia religion whom they could use to fulfill their shaitani purposes. Obviously common Shia are not fit for this job. So they selected only those people who wore the label of religion and who had great influence over the masses of common Shia. People follow their fatwas. These people were the owners of religion and of sharia (Islamic law) themselves.

These people joined the ranks of the enemies of Imam Hussain (as) and raised the banner of "Ittehad bain ul muslimeen" (unity amongst muslims). Then they came to their true purpose which was how to shatter the power of the processions of azadari. To achieve their goal, they decided it was best to not do this all at once, but in different stages.

First Stage The first thing they decided to break was the temp of the processions which would cause the participants to not have their usual feelings of enthusiasm. Its participants come from miles and miles away, despite the thousands of dangers, they come only to attend the procession of azadari of Imam Hussain (as). So they planned to stop the matam and to silence the noha khawns. So they invented a custom.

When the time of zuhr prayer approaches, they immediately stop the procession and stand for prayer. The end result of this was the tempo of the juloos became broken. A lot of people would go and drink tea or smoke cigarettes. Many people divided into smaller groups and busied themselves in gossips. A lot of people can be seen laughing. Zuljenah is stopped and Alams are lowered. By doing this, the honor and respect of the juloos is lost.

We see such attendees at the juloos who are not there for mourning, but for enjoying themselves. Even after seeing all of this, the people?s faith still does not force them to stand up and say, "O?ignorants! The government gave us license and route permits for juloos not for prayer". This prayer which you are offering on the roads is not only a violation of route permit but completely against sharia.

You cannot offer prayers on the road because prayer cannot be performed in a place that is a walk through for the people. How can this sharia, which takes immense care of its people, bear having its name used by those who are simply performing prayer for the purposes of being seen by others and for breaking the tempo of the juloos so the mourners will stop performing matam? If anyone wants to pray at that time, he could very easily go to any mosque or return to his own house to pray.
