LAHORE - Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman has announced the launch of a nationwide public mobilisation campaign in support of Palestinians, particularly in light of the ongoing Israeli military brutality in Gaza since Eid. The movement will include protest demonstrations, rallies, and marches toward US embassies and consulates across major and smaller cities. Addressing a press conference at Mansoora on Sunday, Rehman stated that Jamaat-e-Islami is temporarily suspending its “Haq Do Awam Ko” campaign and redirecting its efforts entirely toward mobilizing the Pakistani public for Gaza.
The campaign begins immediately, with major protests planned across the country. A protest and march toward the US Consulate in Lahore is scheduled for April 11, a mass rally on Karachi’s Shahrah-e-Faisal will be held on April 13, and a march toward the US Embassy in Islamabad is set for April 20. Rehman appealed to the public to participate in these protests in large numbers to send a clear message to the world and especially to Pakistan’s rulers—that the Pakistani nation is not for sale and that their bond with the Palestinians is rooted in faith.
He further stated that Jamaat-e-Islami is in contact with Islamic organizations worldwide to observe a global “Day of Strike” for Gaza. Rehman urged the Pakistani Government to send a parliamentary delegation to meet leaders in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Qatar, and other Islamic nations, and to march toward Gaza to break the siege.”Pakistan must assume a leading role on the Palestine issue,” he stressed.
“Tragically, neither the government nor opposition parties have condemned the United States or Israel. All are focused on appeasing Trump. Silence in the face of ongoing atrocities in Gaza is sheer hypocrisy.
”Rehman dismissed economic excuses for inaction, saying long-entrenched rulers themselves weakened the economy. He warned Arab nations not to assume that their silence will save them, saying, “After Gaza, it will be their turn.” Farhan Mallick granted bail in cybercrime case by local court He condemned the inaction of the Islamic world, which despite having armies, weapons, and resources, remains passive.

He said the US, UK, and EU are backing Israeli terrorism. Calling on religious scholars including Mufti Taqi Usmani and Mufti Muneeb ur Rehman, he urged them to issue a joint fatwa under the “Ittehad al-Ulama al-Islami”declaring it a religious duty to resist Israeli oppression.
