fight that was fought in Lahore on Monday 8th March 2010 to prevent Zaid Hamid from conducting his program at University of Lahore on 10th, March 2010.
Although reports surfaced that the program
was scheduled in Comsats Lahore, this was not true. The Program was scheduled in University of Lahore at 11 am in the morning on 10th of March 2010. It is worth noting that this was the first ever open invitation program of Zaid Hamid. In addition to the students any one from the civil society was eligible to participate in the program. The University made arrangements for 15,000 (yes fifteen thousand) participants. From the extensive arrangements it is clear that Zaid Hamid is now planning to spread his wings beyond the students and reach out to the masses.
Our Mujahid [real name with held for
privacy reasons] got a call from a student of University of Lahore on the night of Sunday 7th of March 2010, that Zaid Hamid is coming to University of Lahore on 10th March, 2010. The call triggered an emergency and a group of students in the university [again details of the group with held for privacy reasons] were contacted. The students asked our Mujahid and his companions to meet them at 11 am on Monday morning. The Mujahid grabbed all the evidential proofs and videos against Yusuf Kazab and Zaid Hamid and reached the University well before time. His first meeting was with the student group. After seeing the documents, the students were convinced that Yusuf was a Kazab and a Dajjal and that Zaid Hamid is his defender – who must not be allowed to set his feet on the pure soil of University of Lahore.
The students advised Mujahid to meet with
some teachers and try getting a few teachers on his side, who could take the matter to the University Administration. This suggestion led to a phase of running from pillar to post, as the Mujahid ended up meeting almost the entire teaching faculty of University of Lahore. The entire faculty was convinced that Zaid Hamid should be denied entry into University of Lahore, but were reluctant to take up the matter in front of the administration. Mujahid was advised by the faculty to go it alone – and take up the case with the administration on his own

shaks jo namoos e risalaat saw ki khatir akaila hi lar gaya].
Mujahid decided to meet the administration
and laid out the entire baggage of documents and videos in front of the administration. After an elaborate discussion, the administration was convinced that Zaid Hamid is a defender of a Kazab, and hence should not be allowed access to University of Lahore. It is worth while to note here, that this program of Zaid Hamid was initially arranged by two die-hard fans of Zaid Hamid from the Pharmacy Dept. [Once again names of the students with held for privacy reasons]. However, after the students made all the arrangements and the program was confirmed, the University administration received orders from powerful quarters that this program must go as scheduled.
Due to the extreme pressure applied by the
“upper wala’s” the administration offered Mujahid to let Zaid Hamid come to the University and in return the Ulema from AMTKN could ask him pinching questions. The administration offered our Mujahid that: Yar ab to sarey ke sarey intizamaat ho gai hain, payments ho gai hain. Aap unhein aa lenay dein, aur sawal poch ker ganda ker lena.
The Mujahid stood his ground and informed
the administration that its a matter of life and death for us. Due to this reason, despite heavy police protection in Peshawar – Zaid Hamid’s program was badly disrupted. [See news coverage of the disruptions in Peshawar here, here, here and here].
Mujahid further disclosed that there were
only an estimated 2000 students in Peshawar, whereas at University of Lahore there have been arrangements for 15,000 people. If the lions of Rasool Allah SAW decided to take matters into their own hands, no police force would be able to control them. Any blood spilled on the campus would be on the shoulders of the administration.
As a bear minimum, Mujahid informed
the administration that if nothing can be done – than it would be a Munazira between Ulema of AMTKN and Zaid Hamid instead of he spilling his lies and we listening to him.
The administration asked the Mujahid to
give them some time and went into a closed door meeting. The meeting dragged on for hours. Our Mujahid informed the student from whom he received a call regarding Zaid Hamid’s program in the university on Sunday night that he has to go to Saifee college, as he has received calls of a potential program by Zaid Hamid over there as well.
The Mujahid left the university and was on
his way to Saifee College, that it got time for Asar prayers. The Mujahid went to a near-by mosque and was in the mid of Dua – that he got a call from the student group, asking him to come back to University.
The Mujahid scrambled back, and on his
arrival was informed about the management decision that Zaid Hamid’s program has been cancelled. The management informed Mujahid that we have reached this decision on security grounds, because in case we go through this program we wont be able to guarantee the security of our Campus – specially in the presence of such huge gathering.
[Editor's Note: We believe that the decision
of the administration is applausible and wise, because the lions of Muhammad ur Rasool Allah SAW will make no distinction between Zaid Hamid - the defender of Yusuf Kazab and his supporters or promoters. Because by promoting Zaid Hamid - one is by association supporting Yusuf Kazab]
