Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), the largest amalgam of religious and social organisations of occupied Jammu and Kashmir led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has condemned the brutal Israeli airstrike on a Gaza hospital that killed over 800 Palestinians, the other day.
In a joint statement issued in Srinagar, today, the MMU expressed shock and said the people of Jammu and Kashmir are deeply saddened by this tragedy and stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine in this testing time.
The statement termed it a blatant war crime under United Nations Charter and the Geneva Conventions, saying that the people of Palestine were being collectively punished by Israel.
The MMU urged the UN and world powers to move beyond blame game, and do some practical for the hapless Gaza people facing a deepening humanitarian crisis.
It also urged the Muslim countries to unite and stand with the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom from illegal Israeli occupation.
