Examiner Bureau | Jammu: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday strongly condemned what he termed an “unjust and illegal war imposed on Iran” and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to use India’s diplomatic influence to help bring an early end to the conflict.
Speaking in the Legislative Assembly as Leader of the House, Abdullah made the statement after members of the National Conference pressed for a discussion on the issue. The move faced opposition from BJP legislators, who argued that the Iran crisis is an international matter and does not fall within the jurisdiction of the Assembly.
“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 Ali Khamenei, his associates, and all those who have lost their lives in this conflict,” the Chief Minister said.
He further appealed for urgent diplomatic intervention, stating, “I make a sincere request 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’s remarks underline growing political concern within Jammu and Kashmir over escalating tensions in the Middle East and their wider humanitarian implications.
