ISLAMABAD: The Senate of Pakistan on Monday unanimously passed a resolution on longstanding Israeli illegal occupation of Palestinian territories and atrocities against innocent Palestinians.
The resolution moved by Senator Mushtaq Ahmed condemned the recent atrocities and violence by Israeli forces over innocent pilgrims and worshipers in Al-Aqsa Mosque and the blockade of Gaza by Israeli forces.
The resolution said the House is cognizant of longstanding Israeli illegal occupation of Palestinian territories and atrocities over the innocent Palestinian people during the last seventy-four years in sheer violation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions and international law and norms.
The house called upon the government to utilize all diplomatic and publicity resources for highlighting the Palestinian dispute on all international and regional fora in coordination with all Muslim States and prepare a roadmap for liberation of Palestinian territories.
The house called upon the government to explore the opportunity for appointing a joint representative of all Muslim States for highlighting the Palestinian dispute at the international level. The house also passed another resolution unanimously on wide-spreading Islamophobia around the world.
It expressed deep dismay and shock caused by the contemptuous act of burning and desecrating the Holy Quran by Rasumus Paludan on April 14, 2022 in Sweden in sheer violation of international law and UN resolutions.
The house called upon the government to summon the Ambassador of Sweden and convey in strong terms the sentiments of the people of Pakistan over the provocative act and further demand stern legal action against the perpetrators.
The house further called upon the government to use political and diplomatic channels for discouraging the occurrence of such provocative crimes against Muslim sentiments in the garb of freedom of expression in all UN member countries.”
