Srinagar, March 1 PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday said that the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by the US and Israel in a joint operation marks a "deeply tragic and shameful" moment in history.
"Today marks a deeply tragic and shameful moment in history, with Israel and the USA boasting about the killing of Iran's beloved leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei," Mufti said in a post on X.
She said that the explicit and implicit support given to the killing by Muslim countries was even "more disgraceful."
"What is even more disgraceful and shocking is the explicit and implicit support given by Muslim countries who chose convenience and expedience over conscience," she added.
Mufti said that history "will stand as a testament" to who fought for justice and who aided the oppressors.
"We offer prayers for the people of Iran. May Allah grant them strength and victory over the forces of tyranny and injustice," the former chief minister said.
The PDP president also extended support to the shutdown call given by Muttehida Majlis Ulema (MMU) against Khamenei's killing.
"We extend our full support and solidarity with the shutdown call of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on the martyrdom of Iran's Supreme Leader. This is a day of mourning to remind the world that injustice anywhere wounds the entire Muslim Ummah and all who stand for truth," she added.
