AhlulBayt News Agency: The demonstration took place amid Iran and Israel’s escalation in the second week after Israel attacked Iran last Friday.
Hundreds of protestors demonstrated a powerful display of solidarity and support for Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei holding his pictures that read, “We stand with Iran.” Slogans were raised in support of Khamenei who has been receiving continuous threats from Israel.
The participants expressed their intolerance towards such threats.
The demonstrators held placards high, denouncing Israel’s attack on Iran, which it claims are aimed to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
Many carried banners and shouted slogans against Israel and the United States, accusing them of destabilizing peace in the region.
One participant, Ahmed Khan, said, “The United States and Israel have shown no respect for Muslim lives. We cannot remain silent while innocent people suffer.”
Speaking at the protest, Maulana Takrir said, “These attacks are not just against Iran but against all Muslims. We are here to show that we are united against injustice and oppression.”
“Our faith teaches us to stand against oppression. Today, we send a clear message that the Muslim world and its supporters will not tolerate the killing and threats against Ayatollah Khamenei and the people of Iran,” said Maulana Takrir.
The crowd also expressed anger at the role played by the U.S. in the conflict and asserted that Muslims will not tolerate when innocents are suffering.
The protest comes in the wake of similar protests happening across different countries against Israel’s genocide on Gaza and attacks on its neighbouring countries including Lebanon and Yemen.
No chaos or violence was reported during or after the protest. Local police maintained that the protest was a peaceful one where Muslims urged everyone globally to condemn the war crimes of Israel.
The protest also brought attention to the broader issue of the plight of Muslims worldwide, urging the Indian government and international community to take a stand against aggression and protect Muslim nations from unwarranted attacks.
