Islamabad, Jun 13: Protests were held across Pakistan's Sindh province to voice anger over what people described as "Indian war hysteria and inhuman brutalities being meted out to the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar".

Rohingyas genocide

Activists of almost all religious parties and a number of political parties took out rallies and staged demonstrations across Sindh on Friday, Dawn online reported.

Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Pakistan Sunni Tehreek (PST) protesters burnt Indian flags and effigies of the Indian prime minister at the end of their rallies.

Sindh PML-Q president Haleem Adil Shaikh, while addressing workers outside the Press Club in Hyderabad city, said that all Pakistanis were united for the security and integrity of their homeland.

If India committed the mistake of resorting to aggression, the entire nation would back its army, he said.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a June 7 address at Dhaka University, blamed Pakistan for spreading terrorism and fear in India, saying: "Every now and then Pakistan keeps disturbing India, creates nuisance, promotes terrorism and such incidents keep recurring."

The participants in Friday's rallies marched on different roads before converging at the press club where their leaders said the Indian premier's statements had deeply hurt Pakistanis.

They said that Pakistan was a powerful country and its army knew how to guard the boundaries of its homeland.

Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) leader Maulana Qari Mehmood urged the government to eliminate India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agents from the country and appealed to Muslim countries to stand united on one platform against Myanmar's brutalities against Muslims.

The protesters condemned the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, and above all, the criminal silence of international organisations of human rights, the UN as well as European countries over the massacre of Muslims.

They also demanded that Pakistan should send back the Myanmar ambassador whose country was involved in systematic ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya Muslims and rape of their women.

Similar protests were held in Ghotki and Kandhkot districts.

Paris, Jun 28: More than 10 million cases of the new coronavirus have been officially declared around the world, half of them in Europe and the United States, according to an AFP tally on Sunday based on official sources.

At least 10,003,942 infections, including 498,779 deaths, have been registered globally.

Europe remains the hardest hit continent with 2,637,546 cases including 195,975 fatalities, while the United States has 2,510,323 infections including 125,539 deaths.

The rate of infections worldwide continues to rise, with one million new cases recorded in just six days.

The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization (WHO), probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections.

Many countries are testing only symptomatic or the most serious cases and some do not have the capacity to carry out widescale testing.

Beijing, Mar 6: World health officials have warned that countries are not taking the coronavirus crisis seriously enough, as outbreaks surged across Europe and in the United States where medical workers sounded warnings over a "disturbing" lack of hospital preparedness.

The World Health Organization warned Thursday that a "long list" of countries were not showing "the level of political commitment" needed to "match the level of the threat we all face".

"This is not a drill," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters.

"This epidemic is a threat for every country, rich and poor."

Tedros called on the heads of government in every country to take charge of the response and "coordinate all sectors", rather than leaving it to health ministries.

What is needed, he said, is "aggressive preparedness."
