Karachi: Doctors held a “White Coat March” in Karachi to express solidarity with the people of Gaza and against Israeli terrorism.
The march from National Stadium Signal to Liaquat National Hospital was led by Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman, in which a large number of doctors and para-medical staff including Caretaker Provincial Health Minister Dr. Saad Khalid Niaz participated. The participants wore Palestinian headscarves and carried Palestinian flags.
Hafiz Naeemur Rahman while addressing the “White Coat March” said that doctors in the whole world have not protested the way the doctors of Karachi have done today. The rulers of European countries, including the United States and Great Britain, are supporting Israel, due to which defeated Israel is bombing Palestinian Muslims.
He said that we want to make it clear that there is no one-way solution to the Palestine problem, there is only one state and that is only Palestine. The American slaves in the country must be got rid of. The Palestinian people are sacrificing their lives but are not ready to leave the land. Al-Khidmat has been there since day one to help the people of Gaza and Palestine.
He said that Israel is bombing children and hospitals to cool down the revenge fire after being defeated. Despite the passage of 62 days, he could not compete with the Mujahideen of Hamas. More than 75 thousand children have been martyred, more than 18 thousand have been martyred.
Caretaker Provincial Health Minister Dr. Saad Khalid Niaz said that it is a pity that the nation which suffered in the last world war is showing the most brutality today. The ongoing bombing and terrorism in Palestine is more a problem of humanity than religion. Hospitals, ambulances and doctors are never attacked.
He said that the face of western civilization has been openly exposed. Israel’s bombing of hospitals, killing doctors and attacking ambulances are against humanity. Today, I am not representing the Sindh government or the federal government, but a personal I have participated in the march because I myself am angry with Sindh and the federal government.
