‘Black flags will be hoisted on homes’: All India Shia board protests Khamenei's death

The All India Shia Personal Law Board has announced its protest against the recent death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in a US-Israel military operation on February 28, along with several family members. The board has called for black flags to be hoisted on homes as a sign of mourning and solidarity with the Iranian people. In a statement, board members expressed their outrage over the attack, describing it as an assault on Islamic leadership and a violation of sovereignty. Khamenei's death marks a significant shift in Iran's political landscape, given his influential role in shaping the country’s policies and resistance against Western intervention. The board's response reflects the sentiments of many Shia Muslims in India, who view Khamenei as a pivotal figure in the fight for Islamic rights globally. The protests are expected to spread across various cities, emphasizing the community's connection to events in Iran and their commitment to standing against perceived injustices faced by Muslims worldwide.
