We strongly condem Pakistan Tennis Federation's decision to allow McDonald's banner and its food stand at the ITF junior tournaments in Islamabad.
PTF's decision is a flagrant display of a calloused heart towards innocents that are being murdered on daily basis in Gaza, and rather a slap in the face of those community members who had repeatedly requested PTF not associate with any corporate entity that has a favorable stance towards Israel. As the entire world knows, Israel is engaged in a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children have died and wounded with millions displaced.
We have recently approached PTF on this matter with no success. Rest assured this is not a political matter. It is our firm stance in what we believe is right against that is atrociously wrong.
We have MANY decent options in Islamabad who could have provided food at the tournaments. PTFs decision is questionable.
