Ten of thousands of people take out rally to denounce Israel over atrocities in Gaza
KARACHI: Ten of thousands of Karachiites, including women and children, took out rally in Karachi to denounce Israeli atrocities in Gaza and in support of Palestinian people of Gaza.
The marchers, belonging to all walks of life, chanted slogans against the Israeli regime and its supporters over the genocide in Gaza.
They were carrying placards and banners. Dozens of differently abled citizens also participated in the event and formed a chain to express solidarity with Palestinians. The Gaza solidarity march was organized by Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi.
JI Pakistan Ameer Engr Hafiz Naeemur Rehman made it clear to Pakistani government that any paradigm shift in Pakistan’s policy on Palestine, set by none other than Quaid-e- Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, will not be tolerated at any cost.
He reminded the rulers that even a hundred years ago, the All India Muslim League used to protest against Israel. On March 23, 1940, two resolutions were passed by the Muslim League — one is called Pakistan Resolution and the second one was for Palestine.
There is only one state and that is Palestine, whereas there is only one leadership in Gaza and that is Hamas, he said while demanding the government to recognize and Hamas and support them as they represent the people of Gaza.
Don’t dare to accept Israel or join Ibrahim accord, he warned strongly.
He said that the US was directly responsible for genocide and ethnic cleansing have no rights to deliver lectures on humanity.
Hamas is a resistance movement that represent the people of Gaza. However, the ruling class is not even willing to mention the name of Hamas because they are afraid of any movement that comes from the people, he said, adding that the ruling elite dislikes any movement that opposes the US and Israel.
He further said that Hamas was a legal movement under the UN Charter. If Hamas has taken up arms, it has done so according to the UN Charter, he added.
He stressed the need of another United Nations as the present one became a total failure and accused it of becoming agent of the US and Israel. It never solved the issues of Muslims, he said.
He was of the view that the massacre in Palestine happened not because of Hamas, but because of the cowardly Muslim rulers.
We want to tell the rulers and opposition parties of Pakistan to abandon hypocrisy and double standards. The people of Gaza and Hamas must be accepted, and Hamas offices must be opened in Pakistan, he said.
He also demanded PTI Chairman Imran Khan in Adiala Jail to show his support for Hamas and condemn Israel and America.
“Greta Thungberg was tortured and forced to kiss Israeli flag, this is the real face of Zionist state,” he said.
He said that on October 7, people around the world will come out of their homes to express solidarity with the resistance forces and oppressed people of Gaza. On October 7 at 11 a.m., the entire Pakistan will come out on roads in support of Palestinians and asked the nation to join the global solidarity demonstration.
