Taiz residents affirm continued mobilization, support for Palestine, defense of holy Sites
Taiz – Saba: Taiz governorate on Friday witnessed 44 mass marches and rallies under the slogan "No security for the entity... Gaza and al-Aqsa are under aggression." This demonstrated continued mobilization to support Gaza, express loyalty to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and defend Islamic holy sites. Participants in marches held across Taiz's districts declared a state of alert and readiness for escalation in support of the Palestinian people and for potential direct confrontation with the Zionist enemy. Led by Shura Council members and local leaders, the people of Taiz affirmed that the Zionist enemy will have no security while the aggression against Gaza continues. The crowds expressed support for the armed forces' operations against Zionist targets and the naval and air blockade. They called on the Islamic world to end its shameful silence and take action to stop the genocide in Gaza and the Zionist violations of Muslim holy sites. A statement from the Taiz marches reaffirmed allegiance to Prophet Muhammad and emphasized that condemnation alone is insufficient against Jewish insults to the Prophet and Al-Aqsa. The statement vowed to respond with mobilization, marches, military operations, and an economic boycott of the "enemy." The statement called on the nation to mobilize fully, asserting that no one is less capable than Gaza, which resists powerful forces. Addressing the Zionist enemy, the statement declared that attempts to force a retreat from supporting Gaza would fail, citing the defeat of the Americans as a warning. It claimed that attacks on civilian infrastructure only strengthen their resolve. The armed forces were urged to deny the entity any security while Gaza is under annihilation and Al-Aqsa under aggression, with a call for continued and expanded strikes. Finally, the statement addressed the people of Gaza and Palestine, urging patience and perseverance and assuring them of imminent victory from God and unwavering support.

Riyadh, [Saudi Arabia], May 30 (ANI): The all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda in Saudi Arabia informed that they held discussions with Saudi officials, policy think tanks, the media, and members of the Indian diaspora over two days in Riyadh. 'We have had excellent discussions in Saudi Arabia. This is the third country that our delegation visited, and we had two full days of discussions with senior government officials, with think tanks who play the role of shaping policy in Saudi Arabia, with the media, and the Indian diaspora,' Panda told ANI on Thursday (local time). Panda said discussions were open and direct, especially on terrorism, where both countries share a zero-tolerance stance. He added, 'We have had free and frank discussions about the terrorism challenge we have been facing. Saudi Arabia has a policy of zero-tolerance towards terrorism, like us. PM Narendra Modi was here when the terrorist attack happened and the joint statement given by the two governments made it very clear that there is no tolerance for any kind of terrorism.' He also noted growing India-Saudi ties in defence, counterterrorism, and trade, calling Saudi Arabia a major regional power. 'There have been a lot of developments between Saudi Arabia and India, including defence cooperation, joint military exercises, agreements on security and counter terrorism, and a very sharp growth in trade and investment. Saudi Arabia is very influential in this part of the world,' Panda stated. The delegation also visited Diriyah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its traditional mud-brick architecture. Additionally, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said that the delegation held 7-8 meetings with Saudi officials, reaffirming close ties, especially with 27 lakh Indians living there. 'We held 7-8 meetings. Saudi Arabia is as important for India as is for the world. India has good relations with Saudi Arabia. 27 lakh Indians live and work in Saudi. PM Narendra Modi has good relations with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.' Dubey said. He added, 'PM Narendra Modi was here when the Pahalgam attack took place, and Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the attack. For the first time, Saudi Arabia has taken a big stand, and issued a joint statement with India, and stressed on two things -- to condemn cross-border terrorism and stop funding for terrorism. Saudi Arabia has now agreed to Pakistan's involvement in cross-border terrorism. The think tank here also believes that Pakistan is the only country in the world whose military decides and controls the government.' Former Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla, who is also part of the delegation, said that the delegation met the Deputy Speaker of the Shura Council. 'The delegation met the Deputy Speaker of the Shura Council, which is the Saudi Parliament. The delegation also had an extensive conversation with the Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs. The outcomes are very good. Saudi Arabia is the most prominent country in the region. It has been involved in its region on many important issues,' Shringla said. The delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda also includes BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, BJP MP Phangnon Konyak, BJP MP Rekha Sharma, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi, Satnam Singh Sandhu MP, Ghulam Nabi Azad, and Ambassador Harsh Shringla. The visit comes in the aftermath of the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people, including a foreign tourist. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 targeting terror camps linked to multiple terror groups. (ANI)
