Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that Pakistanis have sent a message to the “world, US, Europe, Israel and apathetic Muslim leaders” that the nation stands with Palestinians in solidarity.

Addressing a pro-Palestinian march in Quetta, he said: “Our blood is theirs, our respect is theirs and we announce that we are equal participants in their independence struggle.”
