Al-Quds Day observed in Punjab

Rallies organised to condemn Israeli brutalities against Palestineans

LAHORE: Al-Quds day was observed throughout Punjab like in other provinces of the country, on Friday. Rallies, seminars, protest demonstrations and various other activities were organised to condemn Israeli brutalities against the people of Palestine. Workers of political parties, religious groups and human rights organisations participated in the demonstrations. They pledged to continue raising voice for rights of oppressed Palestinians and rejecting nefarious designs of Israel and the US against peace-loving people in various parts of the world, including Palestine. Carrying banners and placards, the participants demanded strong action to save Palestinian children, women and men. Imams and Khateeb, in their sermons, called upon the Muslim Ummah to seek help of God against Israelis. They urged Muslim unity and called for making joint struggle for the emancipation of the world from the subjugation of colonial powers and Baitul Muqaddas from the clutches of Israel. They stressed maintaining harmony and asked people to beware of miscreants and anti-state elements who wanted to create hatred among the followers of various schools of thought. They called for greater unity among Muslims to tackle the present-day challenges.
