PRESENTS MEMORANDUM AT UN OFFICE IN SONAWAR 

Srinagar: Youth National Conference held a massive protest rally in Srinagar today to protest against Israel’s unacceptable atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza. Hundreds of Youth National Conference activists led by NC Youth President Salman Ali Sagar marched with black flags and raised slogans in favor of Gaza and Palestine and against Israel’s inhumane and barbaric war-crimes against innocent men, women and children in Gaza. NC Additional General Secretary Dr. Sheikh Mustafa Kamal also participated in the protest rally to encourage the YNC activists and addressed the protesters and Youth National Conference activists at various places till the rally reached the UN Office at Sonawar. 
According to a statement issued to KNS, while speaking to protesters at various stops during the protest rally, NC Additional General Secretary Dr. Sheikh Mustafa Kamal lashed out at Israel for engaging in wanton genocide by killing innocent, unarmed civilians in their homes. “Israel should know that Allah has warned unjust and barbaric nations against his wrath. Allah’s wrath cannot be averted by Israel no matter how many super-powers try to lobby for it. Israel, by killing innocent Muslims in the Holy Month of Ramadan has scorched the hearts of Muslims all around the world. National Conference Youth Activists have gathered to oppose Israel and extend their solidarity and moral support to the people of Gaza today”, Dr. Kamal said. 
The Protest Rally started from National Conference Headquarters at Nawa-e-Subah Complex and went through TRC, Dalgate Chowk and finally reached the UN Office at Sonawar where NC Youth Leaders addressed the protesters and raised slogans against Israel. Hundreds of youth activists of National Conference demanded that the United Nations wakes up and introspects in time to understand that its criminal silence and ineffectiveness to deliver justice to the oppressed was an utter shame. National Conference Youth President Salman Ali Sagar decried the UN Office’s refusal to acknowledge the memorandum of protest and stated that United Nations cannot wash its hands off of their duty to protect the people of every nation and community from genocide and injustice. 
Youth National Conference activists raised slogans like “Down with Israel”, “Gaza Gaza, Save Gaza”, “Down with Injustice”, “Palestine Zindabad”, “NC’s voice – Save Gaza” at various places and stops during the rally.
