Palestine Ambassador to Pakistan shares stage with Hafiz Saeed
New Delhi, Dec 29 (IBNS): Paving way for controversy, Palestinian Ambassador to Pakistan Waleed Abu Ali was photographed as sharing the stage with Mumbai terror attack mastermind and Jamat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed in Pakistan's Rawalpindi on Friday.
According to reports, Difa-e-Pakistan Council, a coalition of hardline Islamic parties in Pakistan, held the rally in Rawalpindi, reports said.
The Palestinian envoy to Pakistan was reportedly seen sharing the stage with Saeed at the event.
In response to reports and photographs of the Palestinian Ambassador to Pakistan attending the rally organised by Saeed, the official spokesperson India's External Affairs Ministry said, "We have seen reports in this regard. We are taking up the matter strongly with the Palestinian Ambassador in New Delhi and with the Palestinian authorities."
This comes just days after India voted against the US and in favour of Palestine during the UN resolution that declared Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital 'null and void'.
India had said that its position on Palestine is "independent and consistent."
