Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Womens Wing Press Release Lahore 19th July: Raising Our Voice For Gaza was the call given by Saloni Bokhari President Womens Wing Punjab which was taken to its conclusion by Dr Zarqa Taimur President Womens Wing Lahore, at her residence where PTI President Lahore Aleem Khan and Leader of Opposition MPA Mehmood ur Rasheed were invited along with several PTI leaders. MPA Sadia Sohail, General Secretary Womens Wing Punjab conducted the event. PTI Women Wing office bearers and members across the country have indicated strong resentment for the silence from the Muslim Ummah against the blatant terrorism unleashed by Israel on the people of Palestine, particularly those in Gaza. The callous reportage too has been condemnable and PTI women are charged about the manner in which news reports have been released by various media houses, both nationally and on the international platform. With the exception of Chile, other nations have been silent spectators. Brutal force has never achieved anything but more brutality and chaos. We have seen this in our midst where the war on terror has taken its toll in our society, in Kashmir where Indian hegemony persists and cruelty is at its peak against Kashmiri citizens. In Palestine, the bloody war on civilians has escalated to reach new heights and what has been shocking is that neighbouring countries have provided no refuge to those seeking a safe place for their families. Children, the elderly, women, the most vulnerable segments of society, have been failed by the Comity of Nations. It is unprecedented to see children and women, who have always been protected in times of conflict, becoming particular targets in this genocide. PTI Women Wing while strongly condemned the ongoing ruthless attacks and said that those who repeatedly flayed the Nazi genocide are perpetuating the same with greater zeal. PTI Women in their statement said, we have not forgotten the massacre of Sabra and Shatilla, we are not likely to forget the massacre in Gaza nor forgive the Israeli Government and those who stand with them for the blood that stains their hands. The United Nations half hearted statements have clearly failed in peace efforts. Clintons trip to Jerusalem was nothing but a farce. The manner in which the joint press conference took place clearly indicated that US was trying to appease its own citizens by its presence in the region, but was not prepared to dictate terms to The Zionist regime. A presentation was given by Advisor Political Affairs Womens Wing Punjab Malaika Raza. Aleem Khan, Mehmood ur Rasheed, Hamid Khan also spoke on the occasion. Dr Zarqa and Saloni Bokhari in their speeches said, what we the women of PTI have stood up against for today is the deafening silence. We are deeply shocked at the worlds silence over the predicament of the women and children of Gaza who are locked in a conflict ridden, war torn area with no place to go and no means of attaining any protection. Their plight has to be recorded and disseminated throughout the world and we, the citizens of the Muslim world must stand and raise our voice as one to stop this inhuman massacre by those who are the cause and root of terrorism. Our hearts are grieving, and our prayers go to every family who have lost loved ones. Today, on 20th of Ramzan, the days that mark Youme Ali, we stand against oppression, against brutal force being applied on the innocent and we stand up against tyranny. Those present were Shamsa Ali, Najma Haleem, Sarah Ahmad, Nighat Shafi, Rubina Tariq, Talath Naqvi, Naila Tehseen, Musarat Cheema, Asfiya Naeem, Shahnaz Khan, Shaheena Kauser, Ghazala Qamar, Saman Ishfaq, Rubina Jamil, Uzma Raja President Faisalabad Nuzhat Mashadi, Nighat Mehmood, Sumera Abid, Lubna Malik, Tanzila Khan, Ghazala Rafiq, Sajida Malik, Rizwana Iqtedar.
