JAMMU, MAR 27: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday strongly condemned the “unjust and illegal war imposed on Iran” and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to use his influence to end the conflict in the interest of humanity.
Abdullah made the remarks in the Legislative Assembly as Leader of the House, after several National Conference members pressed for a statement, despite objections from BJP MLAs who argued that the Iran crisis was an international issue beyond the purview of the House.
“On behalf of myself and my colleagues, I strongly condemn this unjust and illegal war imposed on Iran. I express my deepest condolences over the loss of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his associates and all those who have lost their lives in this conflict,” he said.
“I also make a sincere appeal to our prime minister to use all available diplomatic channels and relationships to help end this war at the earliest. This will benefit not just us, but humanity as a whole,” Abdullah added.
