(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “Jamaat’s National Secretary, Engineer Saleem, while strongly condemning Israel’s anti-peace and expansionist activities, said that in this background Krishna’s recent tour of Israel is against the traditional stand of India and ignores the sentiments of 20 Crore Indian Muslims.

“It is also a matter of serious concern that Israel has become the largest supplier of arms to India. Increasing relations with a terrorist country like Israel is against the larger interests of the India and would sour the good relations between India and the Muslim world,” noted Saleem, addressing the Press Conference at JIH Headquarters here on Saturday.
