KARACHI, April 6: The Imamia Students Organisation on Sunday took out a procession from Numaish to Tibet Centre on M. A. Jinnah Road to express solidarity with the people of Iraq and condemn the US-led invasion of Iraq.

Participants were holding placards and banners inscribed with anti-US, anti-Israel and anti-British slogans. They also burnt flags of the US, Britain and Israel and torched effigies of Bush and Tony Blair.

In a resolution adopted by the congregation, they expressed solidarity with the Iraqi Muslims and flayed the US and its allied countries, and asked them to stop war on the sacred land of prophets, sofis and mystic people.

They also appealed to the UNO, OIC and the Arab League to take practical steps against the US and Britain to help stop bloodshed of the oppressed Iraqis.

They said the United States was an enemy of Iraq and the Muslims. They also called on Islamic world to boycott the American and Israeli products.

Earlier, the participants of the procession expressed their determination that responding to the call of Imam Khumeni, they would foil the designs for establishing the greater Israel. They alleged that hearts of rulers throbed with America while the countrymen were sympathetic towards the oppressed people of Iraq.

Only those can resist the US invasion of Iraq who believe in Allah, and Imam Khomeni had encouraged people to resist oppressors, he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Allama Abbas Kumaili said Shian-i-Haider-i-Karrar castigated US conspiracies for invasion of Islamic countries and always supported righteous people.

Allama Hasan Turabi said the Iraqi people by their resistance against the US had proved that they were Husaini.
