–Says Muslim rulers must provide military aid to Palestinians in Gaza
ISLAMABAD, Oct 29 (DNA): Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq has made it
unequivocally clear that the people of Pakistan stand firmly with the
people of Gaza in their time of struggle.
Addressing a massive gathering of supporters during the Gaza March held
in Islamabad on Sunday, the JI Emir emphasized the importance of this
gathering as a message to the United States.
“Today, a large number of people is sending a message to America: If the
US stands with Israel, we stand with the Muslims of Gaza,” he asserted.
Sirajul Haq touched upon recent events, referencing the US Deputy
Secretary of State’s call to the Pakistani leadership.
He questioned the intentions of the Pakistani rulers.
Sirajul Haq announced to organise a million march in Lahore on November
19.
“On November 19, the next Million March will be held in Lahore. If
Israel’s terrorism does not end, we will continue our movement,” he
added.
He also acknowledged the sacrifices made by the Palestinian martyrs and
expressed, “I feel the fragrance of Gaza martyrs in the atmosphere of
Islamabad.”
Haq also compared Pakistan’s actions to those of the President of Turkey
and the Secretary General of the United Nations, both of whom have
spoken out against the occupation of Palestine.
He decried the extensive loss of life caused by Israel’s siege and
bombings, including attacks on hospitals and schools.
The JI chief blamed the Muslim rulers for not fulfilling their
responsibilities towards the Palestinians. He slammed the silence of the
international community over the illegal occupation of Israel on
Palestinian land, the martyrdom of over 250,000 Palestinians and the
targeting of hospitals in Gaza.
Sirajul Haq said that Muslim rulers have a duty to save Gaza people and
provide military and humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. The JI chief
said that Pakistani nation donated over Rs1 billion to the Palestinians.
He said that Hamas fighters proved that war cannot be won by the
technology and advanced weaponry but by the power of faith. He added
that the Muslim rulers would be held accountable by their people if they
failed to help Palestinians in Gaza.
“Choose between ruling American slavery or Allah,” he remarked.
JI Pakistan Ameer Sirajul Haq and several political and religious
leaders addressed the Gaza Solidary March which was scheduled to be
staged before the US Embassy, however, the authorities blocked the
routes citing security concerns.
The administration has not allowed entry of the rally participants to
the Srinagar Highway, a high-security zone. Later, the JI staged its
protest at Aabpara Chowk.
The participants of the public rally also heard the special message of
the Hamas top leader Ismail Haniyeh.
JI Ameer Sirajul Haq said that they stand side-by-side with the Muslims
in Gaza. He said that JI announced to hold a protest before the US
Embassy but the US deputy secretary of the state contacted the Pakistani
rulers to stop the protest.
He said that JI workers faced police baton charge and arrests before the
protest.
Haq announced to continue the series of protests against the Israeli
barbaric moves against Palestinians across the country until an end to
the war.
