HYDERABAD, Jan 17: Hundreds of activists of the Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) belonging to various educational institutes took out a “Defence of Islam” rally from the Muslim Science College to the press club.

Addressing participants of the rally, the IJT leader said that inhuman atrocities were being committed by the Zionist state against the Palestinians.

He urged all the Muslims across the globe to unite on one platform to stop the barbaric aggression of Israel. T

Amir Jamaat-i-Islami Hyderabad Moulana Abdul Waheed Qureshi condemned the criminal silence of the UNO and the western world on Zionist terrorism. He said that even the UNO centers had been destroyed but the UNO remained unmoved.
