ISLAMABAD, JAN 01 (DNA) – In response to Indian reaction over Palestinian envoy joining Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed at a rally, Pakistan has said that the public meeting was a demonstration of Pakistan’s strong sentiments in support of the Palestinian cause and that UN proscription does not limit an individual’s freedom of expression.

Pictures of the Palestinian ambassador to Pakistan, Walid Abu Ali, sharing the stage with Saeed and addressing the rally at Liaqat Bagh in Rawalpindi were circulated on social media on Friday.

The rally was organised by the Difa-e-Pakistan Council to denounce US decision to recognise Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
