National Conference President and Former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah has voiced strong support for the people of Palestine and Iran, calling on Muslims around the world to unite in the pursuit of peace and justice.
Talking to media Farooq Abdullah said, "We extend our solidarity with the people of Palestine and Iran in the struggles they are facing. Muslims should unite for peace, as Islam is a religion that teaches peace and calls for resistance against evil."
He drew a historical parallel to Imam Hussain (AS) and the message of Karbala, emphasizing its enduring relevance in contemporary times."Imam Hussain (AS) carried the same message to stand for justice and peace, and to oppose tyranny. That is the true essence of Karbala," Abdullah remarked.
His comments come amid ongoing humanitarian concerns in Palestine and rising tensions in the region involving Iran. Abdullah's message of solidarity and unity reflects growing global calls for peaceful resistance and justice in conflict zones.
The former Chief Minister’s remarks are expected to resonate with communities observing Muharram, a time when the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS) is commemorated worldwide.
