New Delhi: A memorandum on behalf of a group of organisations and
political parties has been submitted to the Minister of External
Affairs S. M. Krishna requesting him to take positive action for
recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state.
The
organisations emphasized that establishment of the sovereign state is
the only solution to the problems of Palestine including West bank,
Gaza strip and Jerusalem usurped by Israel in 1967, says a press
release received here Sunday.
The signatories expressed their
anxiety that after hundreds of resolutions passed by UN forums,
international and regional summits and bilateral agreements between
Israel and Palestine Authorities, Israel is still occupying these
areas.
The signatories requested the Government of India to use
its influence as an emerging economic and political power to gather
support for the Palestine cause and make the impending effort
successful.
The signatories were Nusrat Ali, Secretary General
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan, president All India
Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawerat, Atul Anjan, Secretary CPI, Mufti Mukarram
Ahmed, Shahi Imam Masjid Fatehpuri, Mouji Khan, Secretary All India

India, Asghar Ali Imam Mehdi, General Secretary Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-
