AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a show of solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people, Shia Muslims held a majlis-e aza to commemorate the martyred leader of Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah at the predominantly Shia neighbourhood of Mohalla Kamra in Chandwara locality in the city of Muzaffarpur in Bihar province of India.
People from all walks of life on gathered on Sunday to express their condolences to the resisting Lebanese people who are continuously facing the Israeli aggression since 7 October last year. The organisers held the majlis and Quran recitation sessions followed by the address of Maulana Syed Mohammad Kazim Shabib and Maulana Syed Akhtar Ahsan Gulzar.
The Shia Jama Masjid prayer leader Maulana Syed Mohammad Kazim Shabib expressed his concern for the ongoing conflict in the occupied Palestine and Lebanon where thousands of people have killed by the Israeli occupation army. Praising the martyred Hezbollah leader he said, "Syed Nasrallah was the symbol of resistance against the US hegemony and Israeli Zionist illegal occupation in the entire West Asian region. He successfully fought these forces with immense grit and resilience. Now, he embraced the martyrdom on the path of al-Qods and he will remain a symbol of Shia pride."
He said that after Hassan Nasrallah's martyrdom, some sections of mainstream media began labelling him a terrorist, which is incorrect. People need to understand who Hassan Nasrallah was. He always helped people and freed them from different terrorist organisations who were deliberately propped up as proxies by the US and Zionist to defame the true image of Islam and their resistance."
Earlier a large protest demonstration was held right after the killing of Hassan Nasrallah along with his daughter in Dahiyeh area of Beirut on 3 October 2024 under the leadership of Maulana Kazim in Muzaffarpur in Bihar province where people hold placards and candle lights and expressing their outrage chanted slogans against the Zionist aggression. A memorandum letter was also submitted to the local administration denouncing Hassan Nasrallah's killing by Benjamin Netanyahu and his cohorts and urged the government to act positively to stop the massive death and destruction are being carried out in Gaza, West Bank and South Lebanon. These demonstrations across India particularly in New Delhi, Lucknow, Kashmir and Muzaffarpur triggered a controversy in the mainstream media without knowing the real issues regarding the Zionist aggression that they are supporting the violence and terror outfits.
During the majlis Maulana Ahsan Akhtar Gulzar said, "Shia of Lebanon and Iran always supported the noble cause of liberation of Palestine and al-Qods from the clutches of the US' proxy the Zionist occupation. We are the followers of Ahlulbayt and we should, as Indian Shia Muslims, at least express our support to these people who are being slaughtered by the Israeli occupation army in Gaza and South Lebanon."
