Imran Khan, Chairman PTI, in his address on Al Quds Day at the Iranian embassy on Thursday August, highlighted the support of the Pakistani nation and its founder Quaid-i-Azam Monahmmed Ali Jinnah for the just cause and struggle of the Palestinian people. He reiterated his Party's commitment to the same principles.
The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam Mohd Ali Jinnah, as early as 26th December 1938, in an address to the All India Muslim League in Patna, declared his support for the struggle of the Palestinians. He declared that: "Muslim feelings have been stirred over the issue of Palestine. I know Muslims will not shirk from any sacrifice if required to help the Arabs who are engaged in the fight for their national freedom. ... no nation, no people who are worth living as a nation, can achieve anything great without making great sacrifices, such as the Arabs of Palestine are making. All our sympathies are with those valiant martyrs who are fighting the battle of freedom against usurpers. They are being subjected to monstrous injustices."
PTI supports the Pakistani position of a Palestinian state with Al Quds as its capital and calls upon the US to stop aiding and abetting in the Zionist killings of innocent Palestinians as well as the deprivation of access to the basics of life for the people of Gaza. Unless there is a just resolution of the Palestinian issue, the fallout will continue to be violence and militancy and billions of dollars will be effectively wasted on an aimless so-called war on terror with thousands of innocent lives lost.-PR
