He was reacting to a query on reports and photographs of the Palestinian ambassador participating in the rally. According to reports, Palestinian ambassador in Islamabad Walid Abu Ali attended a large rally organised by the Difa-e-Pakistan Council in Rawalpindi, Pakistan Friday morning. Difa-e-Pakistan (Defence of Pakistan) Council (DPC) is an alliance of Islamist groups in Pakistan, including Saeed's outfit. The meeting and the rally in which Hafiz Saeed spewed venom against India, comes days after India  joined 127 other countries to vote in the United Nations General Assembly in favour of a resolution opposing the recent decision of US President Donald Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy also pointed about the meeting and also shared an article on why India voted against US in Jerusalem.
