AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to show solidarity with the Palestinian people amidst the war in Gaza. The Hyderabad MP said that the Palestine issue is not a matter concerning Muslims alone, but one of justice and humanitarian concern.
Addressing a gathering in Hyderabad on Saturday night, Asaduddin Owaisi citing media reports said the "zaalim" Israeli government has dropped 6,000 bombs in Gaza within six days killing over 1,500 Palestinian people including children.
He alleged that whatever is happening in Gaza is "ethnic cleansing" and wanted the Indian government and the country to condemn "the war crimes" Israel is doing.
Owaisi said he stands with Palestine and will continue to do so, adding the poor people of Gaza, with a population of 21 lakh, 10 lakh have been rendered homeless.
He alleged the "zaalim" Israeli government wants all people of Gaza to be removed and the world which talks of human rights is silent today.

"You cannot see the occupation, you cannot see the cruelty...We condemn violence whoever does it. This is ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people. Cruelty is being done on the people of Gaza. America, Britain, Europe have become mute spectators today," Owaisi was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
"We would like to tell our Prime Minister...show solidarity with Palestine people. 10 lakh people out of the 21 lakh have been rendered homeless. That Netanyahu (Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu) is a devil, he is a war criminal. Houses are being destroyed and 6,000 bombs were used," he said.
"We would like to tell the Indian Prime Minister what Mahatma Gandhi had said. Gandhi had said Palestine belongs to the Arabs. Palestine is land of the Arabs. It is sad that our government is silent. If we have to become a superpower and member of the UN Security Council with voting rights then our government and our country has to condemn the war crimes Israel is doing. Help the Palestinians who are being removed from Gaza," he said.
