Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has once again condemned the attack on Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his killing. He said that he is with the people of Iran, but the CM appealed to the people of Kashmir not to create law and order problems by getting carried away by emotions. Khamenei was killed in the joint attack on Iran by America and Israel on Saturday (28 February).
CM Omar Abdullah said, “Only the people of Iran have the right to change the government and they cannot be forced from outside.” Who gave America and Israel the right to kill Ayatollah Khamenei? If this is right then what Russia is doing in Ukraine is also right and if tomorrow India does the same in some neighboring country then that will also be right.
