Allama Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi (Urdu: علامہ سید ساجد علی نقوی) is the head of the one of the largest Shiite organizations of Pakistan namely Tehrik-e-Jafaria (T.J.P). After a ban by Musharraf regime, it continues to work under the name of Tehrik-e-Islami. Again the Tehrik-e-Islami was banned and a new party was formed with the name Shia Ulema Council. Currently he is not only the leader of Islami Tehrik but, he is the designated leader of the Pakistani Shiite community community of Pakistan by the Supreme leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei. Naqvi also heads the religious wing of Tehrik-e-Islami i.e the Shia Ulema Council. He is often called as the representative of Wilayat-e-Faqih in Pakistan, as he religiously represents the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatullah Ali Khamenei in the country. After the murder of Arif Hussain Hussaini in 1988, he was elected as the head of the Tehrik-e-Jafaria by the Supreme Council of Shiite clergy of Pakistan.[1]
