RAWALPINDI: Speakers and diplomats from different Islamic countries, while addressing the “Tahafuz Harman Al Sharifain, Al-Aqsa Conference”, stated that the locking of Masjid-Al- Aqsa by Israeli leadership will not be tolerated by the Muslim Ummah and demanded Pakistan’s government to end its silence on the matter.
Representatives of different religious organisations, speaking at the conference held here on Wednesday at Islamabad Hotel, also announced to observe 21st July as “Youm-e- Al-Aqsa”.
The leadership of different political organisations and ambassadors of Palestine and Jordan also attended the conference.
Addressing the conference, Palestinian Ambassador to Pakistan Waleed Abu Ali stated that the locking of Masjid-Al-Aqsa on the part of Israeli leadership is in violation of human rights and amidst prevailing challenges, the entire Muslim Ummah should unite for freedom of Masjid-Al-Aqsa and the security of Haramain Al-Sharifain.
Jewish conspiracies are not limited to Palestine and were also aimed at making the entire Muslim world hostage, said Abu Waleed. He also added that if the Muslims did not contain Jewish targets with unity of action, then the sanctity of Harmain Al-Sharifain will be under threat. He lauded the efforts of Pakistan Ulema Council for raising voice for the cause.

JUI-F leader Maulana Atahullah Shahab said that the people of Pakistan have an emotional attachment with people of Palestine and denounce the locking of Masjid-Al-Aqsa by the Israeli leadership.
The conference demanded world leadership and the United Nations to act against such human rights violations. It was also urged that the leadership of Qatar and Arab countries settle the prevailing rift through the Gulf Coordination Council.
