Hefazat-e-Islam has announced nationwide protests to protest the recognition of the Muslim holy city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of Israel. They will hold nationwide protests after Juma prayers on Friday, the organization said in a statement on Thursday.
In a statement expressing strong condemnation and protest, Hefazat-e-Islam Ameer Allama Shah Ahmed Shafi and Secretary General Allama Junaid Babunagri called on Hefazat leaders, activists, ulema and the public to join the protest march.
They also protested US President Donald Trump's unilateral recognition of occupied Palestinian Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
In a statement, they said, "The US President has unjustly declared the city of Jerusalem, which is built around the Holy Mosque Al-Aqsa, as the capital of Israel, and has waged war against the Muslim Ummah. The current US President is a mentally deranged man. World peace is under serious threat due to his controversial and aggressive decisions one after another. World Muslim leaders and people must unite to protest his imperialist and aggressive decisions. This can never be done by any Jewish group."
