Former Interior Minister and PPP senior leader Senator A. Rehman Malik has said that the sacrifices of our Palestinian and Kashmiri brothers and sisters will not go in vain and Inshallah they will achieve the dream of independence from Israeli and Indian oppression.
He was delivering an address as chief guest at a Webinar on the Palestine issue which was attended by a large number of speakers and audiences from across the globe. He said that heart bleeds to see the situation in Palestine and Kashmir where innocent and unarmed people are heartlessly massacred and human rights are violated by cruel Israeli and Indian armed forces respectively. He said that the Muslim world has deviated from its purpose and goals and our power as ‘Ummah’ one nation has been shattered. He said that the Muslim world must unite as global colonial powers, including Israel and India, are directly taking advantage of the differences in the Muslim world. He urged the Muslim countries to resolve the issue of Palestine and Kashmir where Muslims are being persecuted on daily basis. He added that the Palestinian issue was the result of Britain’s prejudice towards Muslims and the same is the case of Kashmir. He said that they left behind both the Muslim territories as disputed. He said that initially Britain had given 20 percent of Palestinian land to Jews but now they have illegally occupied 80 percent of the land.
He said that it was Britain’s strategy to leave behind burning issues and to create imbalance and instability in these regions. He said that the establishment of Israel on Palestinian land was intended to create imbalances and chaos in the region. He said the Middle East had been destabilized to divert the world’s attention from the Palestinian issue and the world knows well how Iraq, Turkey, Libya, Syria, Yemen, all these Middle Eastern countries clashed with each other. He added that all of us know well that how the most dangerous terrorist organization Daesh was created. He said that the creation of ISIS was a dangerous plot against Muslims in the best possible way which failed adding that the creation of ISIS is well elaborated in his book “ISIS-Rising Monster Worldwide”.
Talking about the Indian Forces brutalities in Kashmir, he said that we have been played for seventy years on a ground which was not ours but always India instigated Pakistan. He said that the international community was silent spectators on the inhumane atrocities taking place in Kashmir and Palestine and now sadly Muslim countries have gradually decreased their support to Palestine and Kashmir due to Israel’s strong influences. He said that the massacre of Muslims in Palestine by Israeli forces is by design to bring demographic changes and cause further immigration of Palestinians and the same model is replicated in Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir by Modi. He said that Geographical facts are being distorted both in Kashmir and Palestine. He said that let me quote here the words of the father of the nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who said “The Muslims of subcontinent would not remain as mere spectators. They would help the Arabs in Palestine by all possible means”. But we saw who recognized occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, he added. Senator Rehman Malik said that the issue of Palestine and Kashmir needs to be discussed at the international level comprehensively. Peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved without giving the Palestine people their rights. He said that we will continue to demand the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian state – a state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
Senator Rehman Malik said that the sacrifices of our Palestinian and Kashmiri brothers and sisters will not go in vain and Inshallah they will achieve the dream of independence from Israeli and Indian oppression.
