Altaf Shakoor, the Chairman of the Pasban Democratic Party (PDP), on Sunday strongly criticized the recent Israeli attack on Iran, labeling it as an assault on the entire Muslim Ummah and a severe violation of international norms.
In a statement, Shakoor emphasized that this aggression reflects a broader bias against Muslims, notably supported by the United States. He expressed that such actions not only disrupt peace but set a dangerous precedent where similar attacks could become justified under the guise of combating adversaries. He highlighted the broader implications of accepting such aggression, suggesting that it could lead to further global instability.
The PDP Chairman also voiced strong support for the Palestinian and Iranian people, urging the Muslim nations to stand united in these trying times. He called upon the international community to ensure humanitarian aid reaches the people of Gaza and criticized countries maintaining diplomatic ties with Israel, urging them to reconsider their alliances as a demonstration of solidarity with the Muslim Ummah.
Shakoor further asserted that internal betrayal within Muslim countries needs to be addressed, and stressed the importance of advancing in science and technology. He advocated for educational reforms, including the establishment of universities in every town to foster expertise in critical fields such as science, technology, finance, and economics.
Highlighting the role of global powers, Shakoor urged China and Russia to intervene and help prevent the escalation of conflicts, which he fears could lead to a new world war. He also condemned the perceived double standards of Western nations in their foreign policies and called for an end to the support extended to Israel by the United States.
This statement from the PDP Chairman comes at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, underscoring the complex geopolitical dynamics and the urgent need for diplomatic and humanitarian interventions.
