Bhatkal: Majlis-e-Islah-wa-Tanzeem, a prominent socio-political organization representing Muslims in Bhatkal, has urged the Indian government to uphold its longstanding foreign policy principles established during Gandhiji's era and to advocate for the Palestinian cause.

In a press release, Abdul Rakib MJ, the General Secretary, and Syed Imran Lanka, Convener of the Political Committee of Tanzeem, strongly condemned the indiscriminate bombings in the Gaza strip resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives.

The organization demands the immediate restoration of essential amenities such as water, food, electricity, and fuel supply to the affected areas. They emphasize the necessity of maintaining the existing foreign policy stance.

Furthermore, the organization looks to the Indian government to play a constructive role in fostering peace within the region. They express their condemnation for the ongoing loss of civilian lives in both conflict zones, denouncing the bombing of civilian areas, including mosques, schools, and churches.

Tanzeem advocate for adopting Mahatma Gandhi's perspective that Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, akin to how England is for the English and France is for the French, as India's stance.

In light of escalating tensions with Israel surrounding Gaza and the potential for a ground war, Tanzeem emphasizes the necessity to prevent the conflict from spreading further. The organization underscores the urgent need for international efforts to contain the situation within the Middle East. Additionally, Tanzeem emphasizes the safety of Indian citizens, including those from Bhatkal, who are trapped in the conflict zone. It urges measures to ensure their safety and facilitate their return to their homeland.
