ISLAMABAD: National Assembly (NA) Speaker Asad Qaiser continued his initiative on Tuesday to make contacts with speakers of parliaments of member countries of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation(OIC) to highlight Israeli barbarity and cruelty against innocent Palestinians.

Asad Qaisar, while talking to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said that barbarity and cruelty against innocent Palestinians must be halted immediately. He stressed on the need of unity especially among Muslim countries to highlight this Israel terrorism against innocent civilians. “Such oppression and tyranny is condemnable in every possible term,” he said.
