A delegation of the Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU) led by its patron Mirwaiz Umar Farooq left for New Delhi on Thursday to offer condolences to the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran following the assassination of Ali Khamenei and other prominent leaders.
The delegation will also express solidarity with the people of Iran over the invasion of their country by Israel and the United States.
The Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema is a major conglomerate of religious clergy in Kashmir and includes representatives from all Muslim schools of thought.
According to a statement issued by the grouping, the Mirwaiz-led delegation includes Kashmir Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam, senior cleric Maulana Rehmatullah Qasmi, and Shia leaders Aga Syed Hassan and Aga Syed Hadi.
In its statement, the MMU said the “brutal assassination of a respected and prominent leader of the Muslim Ummah has deeply saddened and shocked people across the world,” adding that US-Israeli invasion has caused “tremendous suffering and hardships for the courageous people of Iran.”
“The visit is a gesture of sympathy, support, and brotherhood with the people of Iran,” the statement said.
The MMU further emphasized that “in these grim times, there is a greater need for unity among the Ummah and for collective prayers for peace and stability.”
