| 2023-12-29 |
| [GEO.TV] Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar announced Thursday that all celebrations related to the New Year are banned across the country as the South Asian nation stands in solidarity with Palestinians who have been facing the worst Israeli brutality since October 7. Not celebrating New Year's will make things all better for Paleostinians. Pakistan has time and again raised its voice for the oppressed Palestinians at international forums and condemned Israel's genocide, that's cost thousands of lives. The first thousand were Israelis... In a televised address, Kakar said: “Pakistani nation is in a sad state [...] so keeping in mind the situation, the Government of Pakistan has decided to ban all celebrations related to New Year’s.” “I appeal to all Pakistanis: show solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians and observe simplicity with the dawn of the new year,” Kakar said, noting that the war was catastrophic. Israel, determined to destroy Hamas, has launched a relentless air and ground offensive that has left vast areas of Gaza in ruins and killed at least 21,320 people, mostly women and children. |
