Protest in Dhaka against Israeli attack on Al-Aqsa mosque

Hundreds of people on Friday staged demonstration in the capital against the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden and occupying Israeli forces’ fresh attack on worshippers and civilians at the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound in occupied East Jerusalem.

Islami Andolan Bangladesh arranged the protest rally at the north gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque on Friday. Later, they brought out a procession which paraded main streets of the city.

Syed Mohammad Rezaul Karim, ameer of Islami Andolan Bangladesh,  in his speech urged the government to condemn the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden.

“Innocent Palestinians are repeatedly attacked every year. The Jews turns violent when Ramadan begins. The ummah is annoyed to see all this year after year,” he said.  He called on all Muslims across the world  to take a stand against Israel.

Rezaul Karim further said, “The United Nations has now become paralyzed in case of defending the rights of Muslims. It can’t do any meaningful work. It is no longer the United Nations, but becomes ‘Muslim Repression Association.’

The rally was presided over by Maulana Muhammad Imtiaz Alam, president of the party’s Dhaka City South unit.
