Sirajul Haq makes an urgent appeal to the leaders of the Muslim world, urging them to take proactive measures to prevent an impending human catastrophe in Gaza

Lahore: October 14: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has made an urgent appeal to the leaders of the Muslim world, urging them to take proactive measures to prevent an impending human catastrophe in Gaza.

In a statement released from Mansoorah on Saturday, he denounced the hypocrisy and double standard displayed by certain Western nations, citing instances where authorities are not allowing peaceful protests against Israel.

Highlighting the stark contrast in the response of European and US governments and media, he underscored their unified condemnation of human rights violations in Ukraine while adopting a significantly different approach to the plight of Palestine.
Haq lamented the brutal targeting of innocent civilians, including women and children, by the Israeli forces.

Notably, Haq, under whose leadership nationwide protest rallies were organized to express solidarity with the people of Palestine, is scheduled to address the Aqsa March in Karachi on Sunday. He will be convening a national conference in Islamabad on October 17, focusing on the escalating situation in Gaza. Distinguished figures from various political and religious factions, along with representatives of human rights organizations, have been extended invitations to participate in the conference.

Haq emphasized that Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territory has led to the tragic deaths of numerous innocent individuals. He stressed the imperative of Ummah unity in backing the Palestinians and emphasized that a resolute stance from the leaders of the Islamic world, rather than relying on the United States or remaining passive, could have potentially secured the independence of Masjid Aqsa and Palestine by now. Commending the Saudi Arabian government for suspending dialogue with Israel, he urged other Islamic nations that have recognized the illegitimate state to retract their decisions.

Furthermore, during a meeting with a delegation of teachers at Mansoorah, he was informed about the police’s use of force and arrests of peaceful protestors across various cities. These demonstrators were protesting the government’s move to privatize schools. Haq strongly denounced these actions by the government, calling for the immediate release of all detainees. He emphasized that authorities should prioritize the enhancement of educational institutions rather than privatizing them.
