Islamabad : Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Defense Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed has said that the relationship between Pakistan and Palestine is centuries old, not years, says a press release.

Before and after the establishment of Pakistan, every ruler, including the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam, has made his political, diplomatic and economic efforts against Israel and in favor of the Palestinians. Israeli atrocities on Gaza are currently unfolding in the form of the worst genocide in history, we as a nation need to raise our voice in favor of the oppressed. He expressed these views while addressing a meeting organized under the Civil Society Islamabad regarding the Israeli atrocities on Gaza at the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce.

On this occasion, it was decided to organize a big rally in favor of Palestinians in Islamabad on November 7, which will be held from National Press Club to D Chowk. Speaking at the ceremony, Mushahid Hussain Syed said that the relationship between Pakistan and the Palestinians began on March 23, 1940, when a resolution in favor of the Palestinians was passed along with the resolution of Pakistan in the historic session of Lahore. The Quaid-i-Azam always spoke for the right of the Palestinians.

After becoming the ruler of Pakistan, the first letter he wrote to a foreign leader was to the American president regarding Palestine. Pakistan is the only non-Arab country that has been a part of the regular Palestinian-Israeli war twice. He said that people are coming out in favor of Palestinians today not only in Islamic countries but also in Western countries. Israel is making history of genocide. We need to stand strong with our brothers.

Secretary General UBG Zafar Bakhtawari said in his address that Muslims of the whole world look towards Islamabad in difficult times and Pakistan has also played its role historically. We as a nation need to come out now and stand with the oppressed. Islamabad’s civil society sends a message of solidarity to the Palestinians.

The rulers of the entire Islamic world are silent spectators, but the people are waking up. Chairman Founder Group Khalid Iqbal Malik said that Pakistan’s businessmen, lawyers, journalists all stand with the Palestinians

. Israeli atrocities are making history, innocent children and women are being brutally killed. We demand our rulers to fulfill their responsibilities. Secretary General Labor Union CDA Chaudhry Yasin said that even at this time, if anyone does not come out in support of the Palestinians, he will be a sinner and we will be asked for it in the Day of Resurrection. Although we cannot go to Israel, but we can help the Palestinians at the financial and economic level, for which the entire nation needs to be united.

President Anjuman Tajran Pakistan Ajmal Baloch said that Islamabad is one of the most prominent cities not only in Pakistan but also in the Islamic world. It is very important for this city to wake up and come out in favor of the oppressed.
