JI announces shutter-down strike on April 22

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman announced country-wide shutter down strike on April 22 to express solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine.

Addressing Gaza solidarity march in Karachi, Hafiz Naeem said that countries like South Africa and Ireland are standing in front against the Zionist forces.

“But when those who watch the spectacle become the spectacle themselves, who will come to their aid? The mask has come off the face of the West, the imperialist mind has become clear, and the conscientious people living in the West have stood up against them.,” the JI chief added.

Hafiz Naeem announced that there will be a nationwide shutter-down strike on April 22 to support the Palestinian people. He said all shops and businesses will remain closed on that day.

He also shared that Jamaat-e-Islami will hold solidarity marches in Multan on April 18 and in Islamabad on April 20.

Hafiz Naeem praised Hamas and Al-Qassam Brigades, saying they have managed to overcome advanced Israeli technology. He added that the United Nations Charter has been violated, as Palestinians have been facing genocide for many years.
