Islamic parties stage protest condemning Israeli attacks on Palestine

News Desk :
Several Islamic parties on Friday brought out protest rallies from the national mosque Baitul Mukarram condemning Israeli attack on Gaza.

Protesters from Islami Oikya Jote, Islami Andolon Bangladesh, Khilafat Majlis and other like-minded parties brought out rallies after the Jummah prayers, reports UNB.

According to witnesses, their processions passed through Nightingale intersection before returning to the starting point.

Police contingents were deployed in the area as the slogan-shouting and banners-waving demonstrators marched peacefully.

“At present, Netanyahu is playing the role of Hitler.

Also, Britain, France and the West have taken the side of Israel.

They are killing Palestinian civilian women and children.

We strongly condemn this.

We will continue this protest, struggle against Israel with all our strength,” said Mishbaur Rahman Chowdhury, chairman of a faction of the Islami Oikya Jote.

The parties urged the Bangladesh government to take a stand against Israel in the United Nations.

They also called for boycotting Israeli products and proposed censuring and severing ties with countries that sided with Israel.

Effigies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with Israeli flags were burned during the demonstrations.
