SUKKUR: Activists of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl took out processions and staged rallies in Sukkur and Jacobabad to condemn Israeli bombardment on innocent Palestinians in Gaza.

The party’s local leader Maulana Mohammad Saleh Indhar led a procession, from Manzilgah Madrasa to Saeed Sirhindi Raod in Sukkur, where enraged workers raised slogans against Israel’s brutality against barehanded innocent Palestinians. The demonstrators had held banners and placards inscribed with slogans of ‘Solidarity with Palestinians’.

Maulana Indhar, Amir Mufti Saud, Afzal Halejvi and others said that Israel was the cause of unrest and danger to peace of the world. The Israeli forces had been oppressing unarmed innocent Palestinians for many decades, they said.

They said that Israel had trampled upon feelings of Muslims all over the world by occupying Al-Aqsa mosque. They extended sympathies to and expressed solidarity with Palestinians, who have been facing Israeli aggression.

They regretted that Islamic countries and United Nations had become silent spectators before Israeli aggression and demanded that human rights organisations of the world should take notice of Israeli aggression.

In Jacobabad, the JUI-F activists took out a procession against Israeli aggression on Palestinians in Gaza.

The demonstrators began the procession from Subhani Masjid and marched on different roads before reaching the press club where they blocked road and raised charged slogans against Israeli atrocities.

The party leaders Dr A.G. Ansari, Maulana Abdul Jabbar Rind, Mohammad Abbas Baloch, Nasrullah Ghunio, Abdullah Abbas Noonari, Shahnawaz Noonari, Maulana Abid Abro, Taj Mahmood Amroti and others addressed the gathering and said that Israel had converted Gaza strip into a slaughterhouse where innocent Palestinians including men, women and children were being massacred.

Thousands of Palestinians had been martyred in Israeli bombardment over Gaza over the past several days, they said, adding the anti-Islamic countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, were helping Israel in carrying out its brutality.
