ISLAMABAD: Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has condemned the Israeli attack on Gaza and urged Muslim countries to raise their voice on the issue, DawnNews reported.

Speaking by telephone to an MQM conference, he said that innocent people are being killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza.

"Now is the time to decide when Muslims are being killed, as to who is the aggressor and who is the victim," said Altaf Hussain.

He also questioned as to where were Human Rights organistions when Palestinians are being killed.

The MQM chief said that Islam does not allow hatred of anybody and that he does not fear death over raising his voice over the rights of Palestinians.

"The murder of innocent children in Gaza must stop immediately," he said.
