Activists belonging to different organisations staged a demonstration outside the office of Deputy Commissioner in Kalaburagi on Thursday condemning Israel’s attack on Palestine.
Organised under the Citizen’s Forum for Peace and Justice banner, the activists had planned a protest rally from Nagareshwar School in the Gunj area to the Jagat Circle. However, they had to confine their agitation to the Deputy Commissioner’s office as permission for the rally was denied by the district administration.
“The Israeli attack on Palestinian territory has left around 18,600 Palestinians killed and 19 lakh more displaced. The Israel armed forces, supported by America, have not spared even children and media representatives. Most of the hospitals and schools in the Gaza Strip have been forced to close. It is U.S.-sponsored terrorism on Palestinians in Gaza,” M.B. Sajjan, city secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), said during the agitation.
