#Islamabad: #Israeli cultural stall organised at #IslamicUniversity (#IIU). #Pakistan Certain elements have become active in the federal capital to display Israeli culture and portray the country as a torchbearer of peace. A stall was organised at the International Islamic University (IIU) to represent Israeli culture and products. The feelings of the Palestinians were also hurt by prominently displaying Israeli flags. A wave of anger and grief prevailed in religious and political circles when pictures of the events came up. The stall was organised as part of “#UN Debate Contest” under the auspices of the Women Faculty of Management Sciences in the hall right under the Faisal Mosque and hurt the feelings of Muslims in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Certain women students including foreigners organised the Israeli stall where Israeli products were displayed and efforts were made to depict the #Zionist country as a flagbearer of peace. The Israeli flag and photo of the Israeli prime minister and different banners were also displayed. In the central banner of the stall which depicted the Israeli flag in the background was written “Welcome to the land of peace & prosperity”. Legal Adviser of the IIU Dr Aziz-ur-Rahman when contacted said that the Israeli stall was organised without permission by women students who had installed stalls of the UN member countries. However it was closed as soon as it came to the knowledge of the administration. A committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of Vice President of the university Dr Tahir Mansoori to probe the happening and those found responsible will be punished. Different student organisations and religious parties have chalked out protest programme on Sunday (today) against it.
