Srinagar: Srinagar MP and senior National Conference leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi has responded sharply to former minister and Shia leader Imran Ansari’s call for nominating Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“The same Jurisprudential Authority, Ayatullah Khamenei, has issued a decree (fatwa) that it is forbidden (Haram) to insult Khulafa Rashideen or Sacred Tenets or Sanctities of Ahl al-Sunnah. If you are so much inspired by his leadership, stop doing what is forbidden. And stop using religion for your personal benefit,” Ruhullah responded to Ansari’s post seeking a Nobel Prize nomination for Khamenei
Ansari had earlier taken to social media to endorse Khamenei’s nomination, citing his long-standing role in promoting peace and stability in the world, especially the Middle East.
“We the Muslims of India wish for His Eminence Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei (Hz) to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his proactive role, spanning decades, in promoting peace and stability in the entire World and the Middle East specifically,” Ansar posted on Social media.(KNS).
