Budgam erupted in fervent support for Iran on Friday as crowds filled the Markazi Imam Bara post-Jumu’ah prayers. This comes as Iran grapples with reported anti-government protests resulting in thousands of casualties and arrests, according to media accounts.
The protesters expressed solidarity with Iran’s leadership and populace, sharply criticizing America and Israel for their supposed role in fomenting discord. ‘Their calculated attempts to destabilize Iran through economic warfare and covert operations are doomed,’ echoed voices from the rally.
Aga Syed Hassan Al-Musawi Al-Safavi, president of Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian Jammu & Kashmir, took the stage to hail the Iranian nation’s resolve. He noted how past strategies to fracture Iran—via sanctions, disinformation, and sabotage—have repeatedly crumbled against the people’s vigilance and faith in Ayatollah Khamenei.
Declaring the latest unrest neutralized and normalcy returned, Al-Safavi appealed for calm from all stakeholders. He implored journalists to prioritize factual reporting over sensationalism that could exacerbate tensions.
This event in Budgam reflects a broader Muslim ummah sentiment, firmly rejecting hegemonic interventions and affirming Iran’s unbreakable spirit in the face of global adversaries.
