New Delhi: In a statement issued on October 10, 2023, Hazrat Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, the President of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, expressed strong support for the Palestinian people in light of the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. He stated that the conflict is a response to what he sees as Israeli wrongdoing and the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Maulana Rahmani stressed the importance of understanding the Palestinian struggle as a natural reaction to the injustices they face. He criticized labeling this response as terrorism, as it could empower those oppressing the Palestinians.
Rahmani highlighted the historical context of the conflict, including Israel's expansion beyond the 1967 borders and its failure to comply with UN resolutions. He expressed disappointment in the international community's inability to effectively address these issues.
Rahmani also noted India's historical stance on Israel, which had called for Israel to follow UN proposals. He criticized the current Indian Prime Minister for supporting Israel, which he viewed as a departure from India's traditional position.
Maulana Rahmani concluded his statement by advocating for an immediate ceasefire and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state following UN decisions. He emphasized the need for justice for both Palestinians and Israelis.

Hamas attack is a natural reaction to Israeli atrocities. Shameful and Sad that PM Modi supported the oppressors instead of the exploited.
