He also called upon the government of Pakistan to take up this issue at the international forums and extend full support to Palestinians. The DBA have strongly condemned ruthless shelling and bombardment of Israeli forces on innocent Palestinians, which claimed 62 lives of innocent Palestinians.

Meanwhile, the members of pharmacists association Wednesday staged a demonstration at Chowk Zila Council here against the pharmaceutical companies which were allegedly manufacturing imitative drugs.
