Lok Sabha Member from Sri Nagar, Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al Safavi, mourned the death of the hezbollah leader and said, “No matter how much we mourn his (Hassan Nasrallah) death, it will always be lesser. There should be peace, and that was his mission.”
Mosavi claimed that, he was doing this for Humanity. He added that, “Nasrallah wanted Palestine to be free for the people of Palestine.”
He also declared that, as Nasrallah has sacrificed his life for Islamic people, “Islamic people will bring something extraordinary.”
Nasrallah has been one of the most powerful leaders who has transformed Hezbollah since its establishment, with an ‘Anti-Israel agenda’. He has also enjoyed cult status among Shia Muslims from all over the world.
Not just in India, the nationwide protests have erupted in Iran and Pakistan with posters showcasing “Hezbollah is alive” to express their anger and outrage at US-backed Israeli airstrikes and mourn the death of the leader. With months-long conflict in the Middle East and claims of innocent lives in Gaza and Lebanon, people are sympathizing with oppressed Palestinians and Lebanese, and turning “anti-Israeli” and “pro-Hezbollah.”
On Saturday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, 64 years old, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon. Hezbollah and Israel have confirmed his death.
A statement from Hezbollah confirmed, Nasrallah “has joined his fellow martyrs. We’ll continue the holy war against the enemy and in support of Palestine.”
Whereas, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on X said, “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world.” The killing of key leaders has further intensified the ongoing rivarity with airtsrikes from both sides, leading to massive killings.
The rising tensions in the Middle East between Israel and Lebabon-backed Hezbollah, would have an impact on the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir’s elections, which are scheduled in a few days.
