Addressing a rally to express solidarity with the people of Palestinian and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJ&K) in the state metropolis other day, he strongly denounced the killing of innocent people of Palestinian by the Israeli government and all those countries who have supported the Israeli government as a result of which innocent civilians were martyred.

He said the fundamental objective of the establishment of OIC was to safeguard the Baitulmuqaddis but this organization has failed to fulfill its objective.
