LAHORE: The Muslims must come up with a clear roadmap for Palestine’s liberation as mere condemnation is not enough, says Jamaat-i-Islami Emir Senator Sirajul Haq.

Addressing a rally taken out in protest against Israel’s brutalities on the Palestinians outside the Lahore Press Club here on Thursday, the JI chief urged the Muslim countries to expel the US envoys and call back their ambassadors from the US.

Such a bold step, he said, would force the US to yield because it could not remain cut off from the Muslim world for Israel’s sake. He said the forces of “Kufr” had weakened the Muslims by involving them in petty internal differences and the Muslim world would have to foil the enemy agenda by sinking its differences.

The JI chief said the so-called champion of human rights, the US, had thrown a challenge to the Muslim world by shifting its embassy to Jerusalem and had virtually attempted to throw the entire world into a war. He said the situation was a big challenge for the OIC.

He stressed that Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi attend the OIC meeting called by Turkey. He also urged the Muslim states to pull out of the United Nations and establish their own Muslims United Nations as the UNO had failed to protect the rights of the Muslims and implement its resolution on Palestine and Kashmir.
