The Kalaburagi district unit of Pragatipara Sanghatanegala Okkoota, a consortium of progressive organisations, took out a rally in support of Palestine amid the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza-based Hamas militants.
Activists K. Neela, Meenakshi Bali, M.B. Sajjan, Arjun Bhadre, R.K. Hudgi, Prabhu Khanapure, Shanta Ghanti, and Maruti Gokhale submitted a memorandum addressed to the President of India stating that killing of innocent civilians in Gaza and cutting off the supplies of essentials items is a crime against humanity. Hamas killing innocent Israelis and taking hostages is a crime and must also be condemned, it stated.
The United Nations Security Council must peacefully resolve the issue and the violence between Israel and Palestine must be brought to an end, they said.
