Israel has hurt feelings of Muslims around the world by carrying out massacre inside Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan: Sirajul Haq

LAHORE, April 17 (SABAH): Emir Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Sirajul Haq said that Israel has hurt the feelings of Muslims around the world by carrying out massacre inside Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Holy month of Ramadan.

Emir JI Sirajul Haq said in his statement on Twitter that Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest place on earth for Muslims after the Two Holy Mosques, it was illegally occupied by Israel and there is absolutely no justification for this occupation under international law

Sirajul Haq warned that the extremist Zionist government seeks to eliminate the Islamic identity of Jerusalem where illegal land grab by Jewish settlers has become a daily routine. Israeli cruelty and oppression of Palestinians is also witnessed on a daily basis in Israeli courts.

Sirajul Haq lamented that allowing Jewish settlers to perform Talmudic rituals at a time when there is unusually large influx of Muslim worshipers due to holy month of Ramadan was a clear provocation.

The people of Jerusalem, especially the young men and women stationed in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, stood steadfastly in front of the brutal Israeli soldiers despite the fact that they were unarmed and Israeli forces were armed guns and tear gas. The entire Ummah salutes them on their courage and matchless bravery.
