Massive Rally in Lahore Protests Israel's Gaza Bombing

Jamaat-e-Islami's Chief Calls for Global Awakening to Palestinian Plight

Tens of thousands of supporters from Pakistan’s main religious political party rallied in Lahore against Israel’s bombing of Palestinians in Gaza.
The crowd, including women and children, marched for several kilometers holding banners and posters with slogans opposing Israel and the United States and in support of the Palestinians.
Senator Sirajul Haq, the JI chief, said the ongoing rallies in support of Palestinians around the world awaken world governments and give a voice to the innocent.
Haq stated that the resolutions and words issued by the Organization for Islamic Cooperation will not work, and that Muslim rulers have to rise and to stop the hand of the aggressor.
Earlier this month, Jamaat-e-Islami held massive rallies in the port city of Karachi and the capital, Islamabad.
