Pakistani Students Organizations Vow to Express Solidarity with Palestine on Nakba Day
The students' organizations and Palestine Foundation (PLF) in Pakistan vowed to mark May 15 as Palestinian Nakba Day, to express solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians, the PLF stated on its website.
Special programs were announced, and popular movements in all educational institutions of Pakistan will take place on May 15.
The Pakistani decision to mark this "Palestinian" day was made at a joint meeting between many organizations including, Peoples Students Federation (PSF), Muslim Students Federation (MSF), Islami Jamiat Talba (IJT), Anjuman Talba-e-Islam (ATI), Pukhtoon Students Federation (Pukhtoon SF), Insaf Students Federation (ISF), General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS), and working committee of the PLF.
Also, representatives from each organization were present at the meeting, speaking on behalf of their bodies and asserting their interest in marking this sacred day.
The convened sides stated that although 64 years have passed since the Nakba, "Palestine was neither liberated nor was it made a sovereign and independent state because of Arab and Muslim governments' lack of attention and interest".
"Pakistani students demand the Pakistan government to remain firm on its Palestine policy and continue to support the just Palestinian cause at the United Nations and other international forums," the convened organizations reiterated.
