LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) Sunday organized a protest demonstration outside the Lahore Press Club to express a powerful display of solidarity with the Palestine people.
Former Punjab Governor and the chief organizer of the party Chaudhry Sarwar led the protest. PML-Q Punjab General Secretary Chaudhry Shafay Hussain also joined the rally in voicing his concerns about the dire situation in Palestine.
The demonstration, which saw a significant turnout of PML-Q workers, conveyed a resounding message of support for the oppressed Palestinian people, who have been enduring decades of conflict and hardship in the face of Israeli aggression.
Carrying banners and placards bearing slogans in favor of Palestine, the protestors demanded an immediate end to Israeli oppression and called for the implementation of United Nations resolutions addressing the Palestinian issue.
Speaking on the occasion, the PML-Q chief organizer Ch Sarwar underlined the importance of international solidarity by urging, “We all have to raise our voice for Palestine together.”
He further urged the people to boycott Israeli products. Addressing the atrocities in Palestine, Sarwar emphasized, “The world needs to understand that children are being massacred, and over fifty thousand people have already lost their lives.”
Drawing a powerful comparison to other nations, he questioned, “You ask the international community what would happen if another country did what Israel is doing wrong.”
Sarwar, who has visited Palestine ten times, recounted his experiences, stating, “I have seen the cruelty of Israel there. People of Gaza are living in a prison; their water is cut off, their medicine is cut off.”
Despite the grim circumstances, Sarwar invoked hope by saying, “When oppression increases, Allah’s help comes.” He also revealed a message from the Imam of Bait Al-Maqdis, “Our children, our sisters, our brothers are giving their lives for Bait-Maqdis.”
Speaking on the occasion, Ch Shafay Hussain said that Palestinians have every right to be free. “Israeli oppression of Palestine must stop immediately.” He also extended the call for justice to the disputed region of Kashmir, stating, “Indian oppression in Kashmir should also end.”
The PML-Q General Secretary Ch Shafay underlined the importance of international solidarity by urging, “We all have to raise our voices for Palestine together.” Chaudhry said, “We demand that the United Nations resolutions be implemented.”
