The students of Aligarh Muslim University have been observing the last Friday of Holy Ramadan as the International Quds Day for many years. Imam Khomeini, the late leader of Islamic Revolution of today's Islamic Republic of Iran, established it to raise the voice against the illegal occupation of Palestinian land by Zionists and the persistent persecution of Palestinians by them.
This year also, the students gathered at the University Jama Masjid immediately after Friday prayers and peacefully marched towards the University Circle. During the protest, students were chanting against U.S. ,Israel and all their proxy regimes including the pseudo anti-terrorism fronts indulged in shedding the innocent blood in the region. Students also denounced the role of some Muslim nations who are not desisting themselves in torturing their fellow Muslim brethren even in the holy Month of Ramadan.
Addressing the students Mr. Mehboob Hallauri said" Israel is the cancer of the middle east which has no right to exist as it was created by illegal occupation of Palestinians land".
Mr. Mazin Zaidi said "the most influential sponsor and endorser of terrorism in the region is Israel and its allies. These warmongers are capitalizing on these heinous crimes and their arms & ammunition sector is thriving like anything contributing their economies significantly. At the same time, they have kept the people of Middle east perturbed to ensure the existence of Israel".
This peaceful march concluded when protestors handed over a memorandum to the University administration addressing the United Nations Organization wherein, they demanded it's urgent intervention to stop the Palestinians' genocide and to contain the nefarious acts and any further illegal occupation.
