Lahore (Web Desk): Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has announced massive Palestine march in Lahore on April 27.
The announcement was made during his speech at the Israel Murdabad Million March held on Shahrah-e-Qauideen, where he emphasized the importance of standing with Palestine and Gaza.
Addressing a massive crowd, Maulana Fazlur Rehman expressed that JUI's recent event in Karachi had greatly encouraged the Muslim world and sent a strong message of solidarity with Palestine. He urged the public not to lose hope, stating, "You are not alone; we will stand with you until the last drop of blood."
He highlighted the massive participation of over one million people in Karachi, who gathered to raise awareness about the Palestinian cause. Despite the sacrifices of over 20,000 children and women in Palestine, he criticized the rulers for failing to act decisively.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman further stated that these rulers had lost their dignity and that the Muslim Ummah must take a stand against Israel, irrespective of the indifference shown by the rulers. "You made history in Karachi by answering the call to action; now, Israel must face our united response," he said.
He also emphasized that Israel was an illegal entity, having occupied Palestinian land, and its existence had no moral, political, or legal legitimacy. The JUI leader reiterated that both the United States and Europe supported the aggressor, Israel, while continuing to provide it with support despite its violations of international law.
Drawing historical comparisons, Maulana Fazlur Rehman reminded the audience that just a century ago, Israel was nonexistent. He quoted Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who had referred to Israel as an illegitimate creation of Britain.
The former Israeli president had once stated that the elimination of a newly formed Islamic state was part of Israel's foreign policy. He also referenced the Israeli prime minister's comment about the perceived threat from Pakistan, citing that the sound of "Takbeer" from Pakistanis had made Zionist forces tremble.
The JUI leader strongly urged against any recognition of Israel, stating that the dream of normalizing relations with Israel would never materialize. He also reminded the audience that economic ties with Israel were not feasible.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman was also vocal in criticizing the United States for its role in the deaths of Muslims, particularly in Afghanistan, and warned that if the West did not learn from past mistakes, it would soon collapse. He warned that Asia’s economy and resources would soon shift from the West to the East.
The rally became emotionally charged when chants of "Killer Netanyahu, hang him!" rang out in the venue, further reinforcing the anger towards Israel’s actions.
He also sent a message to former U.S. President Donald Trump, calling him a murderer for his support of Israeli aggression. "We have rejected the notion of recognizing Israel. Whether bureaucrats, politicians, landlords, industrialists, or any opportunistic group, no one will be allowed to recognize Israel," he asserted.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman expressed confidence that no matter how much the authorities tried to suppress the people’s voice or manipulate elections, the masses would continue their fight for Palestine. He urged that the sentiments of the people must be respected, as any attempt to suppress the movement would fail.
The speech ended on a powerful note, declaring that the real battle lies in the streets, not in the halls of power, and called for a united stand against Israeli oppression.
