“It should be remembered that these people barely managed to escaped with their lives, leaving behind all they have ever worked for, becoming refugees in their own country .
“We should all put ourselves in their position and imagine for once, what will be our expect ions from fellow brothers and sisters.
The forum further said, “The Muslim Ummah is but one body, if any part is afflicted, the entire body is affected.
