Palestine Foundation Pakistan (PLF) Secretary General Dr. Sabir Abu Maryam objected to the presence of the Israeli flag in the monogram of the non-governmental organization namely “All Neighbors International” in the city of Karachi, Pakistan, and appealed to the leaders of political and religious parties and the people across the country to demand a government ban on this organization while protecting the constitution of Pakistan and the ideology of the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Due to public pressure and reaction, the leader of the NGO, Bishop Khadim Bhutto, immediately removed the flag of the illegitimate state of Israel from the monogram of the NGO and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. The Secretary General of Palestine Foundation Pakistan, Dr. Sabir Abu Maryam, praised the initiative of Bishop Khadim Bhutto, the leader of All Neighbors International, as well as thanked to the leaders of all political and religious parties who strongly protested and expressed concern over the presence of the Israeli flag in the monogram.
It should be noted that a few days ago, the presence of the Israeli flag was revealed in the monogram of the above-mentioned organization. Human rights organizations including Palestine Foundation Pakistan and political-religious organizations Jamat-e-Islami, PTI, MQM, JUP, MWM, Jamiat Ahley Hadis, Muttahida Ulema Mahaz and civil society expressed their concerns over the issue. It is worth noting that All Neighbors International, a non-governmental organization is working in Pakistan supported by the US, has included the flag of Israel in its main monogram, which aims to negate Pakistan’s ideology. After strong protest by PLF the monogram has been changed, but it remains to be seen if the organization permanently removes the Israeli flag from its monogram in the future or if this is a temporary measure. It should be remembered that Pakistan is an ideological state which does not recognize Isarel as per the ideology of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. According to Jinnah, Israel is an illegitimate state.
