TEHRAN(Basirat)- Millions of enthusiastic people round the globe attended the International Quds Day rallies to express solidarity with the Palestinian nation and condemn the Zionist occupiers.
Rallies and ceremonies were held in many countries, such as Syria,
Turkey, India, Serbia, Azerbaijan Republic, Afghanistan, and Malaysia
where people rushed to the streets to express their solidarity with the
oppressed Palestinian nation.
People in various cities of Turkey
as well as in the capital after Friday prayers took to the streets in
condemnation of Zionist occupiers and chanted slogans against the
Zionists and in support of the oppressed Palestinian nation.
In
Damascus, Syria, Syrians, Palestinians and Iranians took part in the
event to mark the international Quds Day and condemn crimes and
atrocities of the Zionist occupiers.
Iran's Ambassador to New
Delhi Gholam-Reza Ansari joined the masses of people on International
Quds Day and said the Zionist regime is the manifestation of racism,
adding that all Muslims should be united to liberate holy Quds.
The world is now witnessing tyranny of the Zionists against oppressed and defenseless Palestinians, he said.
Why
do western states along with the US not exert pressure on the Zionists
in the same way as they did with South African Apartheid regime to put
an end to racism, he asked.
Palestinian Muslims, Jews, and Christians should be free to make decisions on their fate, Ansari said.
Islam is the religion of peace, friendship and kindness and issues such as violence and extremis have no room in Islam, he said.
Late
leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini named the last day of
the fasting month of Ramadan as International Quds Day in 1979. Since
then, Muslims and all freedom seekers of the world pour into the streets
in this day to show their solidarity with Palestinians and their anger
at the atrocities of the Zionist regime.
