Jamaat-e-Islami emir Sirajul Haq says the children in Gaza are waiting for help to come from their muslim brothers and sisters in Pakistan.

Addressing a rally, Siraj said he wanted to live an honourable life and was ready to sacrifice his life for the Palestinian cause. “I have told Iran and Turkiye that either proceed and fight or give me the way [ahead] because I have a brave nation behind me,” he asserted.

“If we don’t save our Palestinian brothers … then the doors of heaven won’t open for us,” Siraj added.
