Prominent Muslim scholars have urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reconsider his unconditional support for Israel which has been hell-bent on annihilating Palestinians in violation of international laws.
The country must instead stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, they said during a demonstration organised by the South Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama outside the Raj Bhavan on Tuesday.
The protesters who commenced their march from near the Martyrs’ Column at Palayam faulted the Prime Minister for adopting an inhumane stand that ignored the moral and democratic values that have been upheld by India. The stance, they cautioned, is bound to tarnish the country’s image on the global stage as well as among Arab nations.
