QUETTA: Markazi Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Nazriyati Pakistan today announcing the Protest Day on February 23 (Friday) against the atrocities of Israel, and urged religious scholars to raise voice in their Friday sermons against the atrocities and barbarism of Israel against innocent Palestinians in Gaza.

The announcement was made by Ameer, Markazi Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Nazriyati Pakistan, Moulana Khalil Ahmed, provincial Ameer Balochistan, Moulana Abdul Qadir Luni, provincial Ameer, KPK, Qazi Gul Rehman Nukyal, provincial Ameer Punjab, Moulana Sanaullah and provincial Ameer Sindh, Moulana Aziz Ahmed Shah Amroti in joint statement issued here on Wednesday.

They said that Israel had been imposed on the chest of Middle East as a rotten cancer after the Second World War, adding Israel had become accustomed to sucking the blood of Muslims to quench its thirst.

They said that owing to the relentless bombardment of Israel on Gaza, more than thirty thousand Palestinians had been martyred besides levelling Gaza to the ground, but rulers of Muslim world were not paying heed to the cries of Palestinian children. They said Israel was deliberately targeting schools, hospitals, ambulances and camps of displaced Palestinians.

They said that aggression of Israel on Gaza could not be seen by the United Nations and so called human rights organizations, adding that Palestinians had been left at the mercy of Israel.

Till what time international community would keep a silence over the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, they said, adding Jihad (holy war) was the only treatment of Israel. Urging Muslim umma to unite in order to decimate Israel, they said that the liberation of “Bait-ul-Muqadus” was not only the issue of Palestinians but was also the issue of whole Muslim umma.
