Sindh Provincial Assembly lauds Hamas struggle against Israel

KARACHI (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Sindh Assembly echoed with thundering applause for the brave struggle of Hamas in which the Movement thwarted nefarious Israeli designs to bow down the Palestinians and expel them from their homeland.

This development was witnessed during the visit of Dr. Khaled Qadoumi, spokesperson of Hamas and head of its Western Asia Affairs Department, when he attended a session of Sindh Provincial Assembly on Tuesday.

Dr Qadoumi’s visit was arranged at the invitation of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader and opposition leader Ali Khurshidi, along with MQM MPA Sabir Hussain Qaimkhani.

Deputy Speaker of the Assembly and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) representative, Anthony Naveed, also greeted Dr. Qadoumi during the session. Attendees included Local Government Minister and PPP leader Nasir Hussain Shah, PTI MPA Muhammad Shabir Qureshi, and Jamaat-e-Islami MPA Muhammad Farooq.

Members from various parliamentary parties in the Sindh Assembly—including the ruling PPP, PTI, MQM, and Jamaat-e-Islami—held separate meetings with Dr. Qadoumi. These discussions centered on recent developments in the Palestinian issue and the aftermath of Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

During the session, speakers lauded the resistance efforts of Hamas and its armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, praised the release of prisoners under Islamic principles, and honored the resilience of the Palestinian people.

PPP leader and Local Government Minister Nasir Hussain Shah emphasized that all political leadership stands united on the Palestinian cause. He extended a welcome to the Hamas representative on behalf of President Asif Ali Zardari, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and the people of Sindh.

PTI’s Muhammad Shabir Qureshi stressed the need to prioritize the Palestinian issue above political differences, stating, “We, as supporters of Imran Khan, hold the sacrifices of the Palestinian people in high regard and salute their bravery.”

Jamaat-e-Islami’s Muhammad Farooq remarked, “We are honored to host Hamas’s representative, whose leadership has become a symbol of courage and determination. We stand with them unequivocally.”

MQM leaders also paid tribute to Palestinian sacrifices, declaring, “Hamas’s resistance fills us with pride.”

The gathering underscored a rare consensus among Sindh’s political factions in solidarity with Palestine, reflecting Pakistan’s enduring support for the cause.
