Palestine Foundation (PLF) of Pakistan has announced on Friday that Palestinian ambassador to Pakistan
Hazem Abu Shanab would receive the participants of Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) at Wahga Border on Saturday March 10.
The announcement was made at a press briefing here at a local hotel about Global March to Jerusalem. The PLF central office bearers Muzaffar Hashmi, Qazi Ahmed Noorani Siddiqui, Maulana Sadiq Raza Taqvi and Sabir Karbalai spoke at the briefing.
They informed that Palestinian land was under Zionist Israeli occupation since 1948 and Jerusalem (Bait al Maqdas) was under occupation since 1967. Illegal settlements of Jews are erected time and again around Jerusalem and all they do for occupation of Bait al Maqdas. When Palestine issue is tabled in the United Nations Security Council, U.S. the global imperialist power, exercise veto power in favour of Israel.
They said that they want to expel remaining Palestinians from the land of Palestine like they did it since 1948.
Israel has called Jerusalem its capital that is also against the international and a slap in the face of international community.
Hence, they said, Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) was being conducted to highlight this core issue to the notice and knowledge of world public opinion. Jerusalem is sacred for Muslims and Christians as well. Israel keeps violating the sanctity of Bait al Maqdas that is sacred to all monotheist religions of the world.
People from almost all over the world have joined hands to become the part of Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ). They will peacefully march to Jerusalem on March 30 from four borders of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.
PLF office bearers said that Asian countries’ caravan is reaching Pakistan via Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippine and India. Pakistanis too largely attend the global march. The Asian participants of the GMJ will reach after visiting several cities of Pakistan and from there they will continue via Turkey and sea routes and reach Beirut.
The participants (delegates) will reach on Saturday and address at Multan Press Club on Sunday March 11. They will address and meet press at Karachi Press Club on March 12. They will visit the mausoleum of founder of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah on March 13. Palestinian ambassador, Sindh Chief Minister and other eminent figures will accompany them there.
PLF has formed arrangement committees in Lahore, Multan, Sukkur and Karachi to accord them warm welcome.
