NUPSA condemns attacks in Pakistan and on Gaza aid flotilla
June 1st 2010 13:07
LONDON, June 1 (APP): The UK-based National Union of Pakistan Students and Alumni (NUPSA) has strongly condemned the Lahore attacks on the Ahmadiyya community and in the Jinnah Hospital and this is another reminder to all of the grave dangers of extremism and religious bigotry that Pakistan is currently facing. In a statement, NUPSA spokesman Ayyaz Mallick said the organisation is committed in bringing together students and alumni from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds in Pakistan and creating an atmosphere of mutual understanding and tolerance amongst the coming generations of Pakistanis.
“We would like to take this opportunity to appeal to both the people and government of Pakistan to stand united in support of our brothers and sisters in the face of such dire adversity. We pray for all those who have lost their lives and salute members of our security forces who laid down their lives in bringing the situation under control and preventing further loss of precious human life.”
NUPSA has also condemned Israeli attack on Gaza Aid Flotilla and said this violent episode is once again a reminder of the near apartheid conditions that the people of Gaza are living under and the resultant looming humanitarian crisis.
The student body strongly supports efforts which aim to provide humanitarian aid to the afflicted population and believes in firmly upholding of the universal principles of human equality, dignity and justice.
“We offer our deepest condolences to families who have lost their loved ones in this brazenly inhuman act of violence. Noted Pakistani journalist Talat Hussain, who has also been involved with NUPSA activities in the past, was one of those on board the aid ships and we hope and pray that he, along with other members of the crew, returns safely to their home.”
A leading human right activist Ansar Burney has also strongly castigated Israel for its unprovoked attack on the Gaza aid flotilla and urged the international community to take stringent action against the Jewish State and make efforts for immediate lifting of siege imposed on Gaza Strip.
Similarly, the UK Chapter of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in its condemnation of Israeli action said Gaza Strip has been under a relentless Israeli blockade since the Hamas were elected to run the coastal territory in June 2007.
“Israel has a long history of blatant disregard of the International Law and the Geneva Convention and it is about time that the Muslim world come together to break the siege of Gaza,” party’s UK co-ordinator Rabia Zia said.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Council for Human Rights (JKCHR) has also criticised Israel for its murderous action on the flotilla that led to the deaths of 19 members of this humanitarian mission.
Secretary-General Dr.Syed Nazir Gilani said boarding the ships, killing of members of this humanitarian mission, which included women, is brutal and inhuman behaviour very rarely witnessed in recent history. It constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and norms and needs effective global condemnation. Israel is on the wrong side of history and has sinned against humanity.
