Expressing deep sorrow over the killing and injuring of protestors in Jerusalem, the Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani on Monday termed these killings as “terrorism and beastly act”. He also stressed on unity among Muslims and impressed upon the OIC member countries to take concrete measures to put halt over infighting among Muslims.Geelani in a statement issued to GNS said after US President’s move to announce Al-Qudus (Jerusalem) as the capital of Israel, we urge the OIC to take strong note and act unitedly against this anti-Muslim move.Terming US president Donald Trump’s move as “unjust, biased, anti-Islam and unrealistic decision” Geelani said that prevailing situation in Palestine is very painful. He blamed Zionist forces for hatching conspiracies against Muslims for “carrying their sinister designs of bloodshed in Muslim world”.Geelani blamed the West for backing Israel and said this country is posing continuous threat for Muslim Ummah and promoting its plans to manufacture hazardous weapons, thus creating continuous threat and horrendous situation in territory.Referring to 57 Muslim countries, Geelani said it is unfortunate that instead of rendering their services for Muslim Ummah, they are acting as “puppets” for the West and promoting and facilitating their agenda.
Lamenting at ruling class in Muslim countries, Geelani said they are acting as mute spectator over genocide carried by the West and instead purchases ammunition worth billions from these killers to suppress and subjugate their innocent people.“Allah has bestowed Muslim countries with enormous and rich resources for generating revenue and income,” said Geelani, adding that unfortunately these resources are being wasted over personnel luxuries for elite class.Geelani accused America for carrying killing spree in Muslim countries and said despite their tall claims of being the sole super power, the US has turned Muslim world into a battle ground.Blaming America for disturbances, bloodshed and terrorist activities in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, Geelani said that other countries including Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and other Muslim countries are their next target.Commenting over UN role in Palestine, Hurriyat (G) chairman said that this organization has failed and follows agenda of America. “Had OIC been active and followed effective strategies, Israel could not have carried its genocide in Palestine,” he said.
Blaming ruling class in Muslim countries for their extravagance, Geelani said they are living in an illusion and fail to comprehend that they too are not safe and sooner or later it may be their turn.Geelani said Muslims are involved in infighting over sectarian issues among Shia and Sunnis. “If we overcome this issue, we can definitely defeat devilish plans of Israel,” he said.“Muslim Ummah is a one nation,” said Geelani and stressed upon OIC to play its pivotal and key role in solving the problem of Palestinians and Kashmir on priority basis.
