Soon after Israel targeted Iran, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has urged the ministry of external affairs to ensure the safety and well-being of Kashmiri students who are stuck in Iran.
The Chief Minister on his official X account wrote; “Requesting @MEAIndia to urgently ensure the safety and well-being of Kashmiri students currently stuck in Iran. Their families are deeply worried, and we stand with them in this difficult time. Every step must be taken to safeguard our students”.
He has tagged the external affairs minister S Jaishankar and has urged him to take every step to ensure safety of the Kashmiri students in Iran.
Meanwhile, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti has condemned Israel for attacking Iran.
She wrote on X; “Israel’s attack on Iran is yet another brazen act by a state that appears to have gone rogue. The silence of the global community particularly Western powers led by the United States is both alarming and telling. This silence amounts to tacit approval. In the case of India-Pakistan tensions, the U.S. never fails to assert that its intervention has been crucial in preventing escalation. Yet when it comes to Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza or its latest strike on Iran that same urgency is conspicuously missing. These glaring double standards endangers global peace and stability. Equally disturbing is the deafening silence of the so called Muslim countries, who remain shamelessly non-existent in the face of such grave injustice. Their inaction is not just disappointing it’s a betrayal of the very causes they claim to stand for”, she added.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq while delivering the Friday sermons in Srinagar’s Jama Masjid slammed Israel and called it a “rogue” state. “People of Jammu and Kashmir stand with Palestinians and Iranians against Israeli aggression on them,” he said.
Referring to the Israeli attacks on Iran, Mirwaiz said “many civilians including women and children have been killed. Besides, senior Iranian military personnel have also been assassinated. This is highly condemnable. While perpetuating genocide on hapless Palestinians and getting away with it, Israel is now putting the whole of Middle East in peril. It has become a rogue state and a huge threat to world peace. It is the moral duty of the UN and all world nations to put pressure on Israel to stop the genocide and war in Gaza and prevent Israel from targeting other nations”.
