The Hindu
Sunni scholar calls for establishment of Palestine nation with Jerusalem as capital, urging global support for Palestinians' rights.
Sunni scholar Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar has said that countries including India should come forward to take steps to set up a Palestine nation with Jerusalem as its headquarters.
Delivering a speech at the Kozhikode beach on Tuesday (February 11) to announce development projects marking the centenary of the Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama, he said that Gaza was not a real estate property to be bought for a price.
He said that the global society should react when the leader of a nation says that the people of a country would be expelled from their land and that they would not be allowed to enter there. All peace-loving nations should come forward to honour the rights of the Palestinians over their land, which had been usurped by others.
