Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Jawad, while strongly condemning the US-Israel attack on Iran, has announced that if the aggression does not stop, a massive protest will be held in Lucknow next Friday.
After the Friday prayers at the Asifi Mosque, Maulana Kalbe Jawad strongly condemned the actions of the US and Israel. He offered prayers for the safety and peace of Iran.
The cleric also announced that, given the current circumstances, Eid celebrations are being held with simplicity this year. He urged people to avoid extravagant spending and help those in need.
He warned that if these attacks continue, they will raise their voices from here. A large number of worshippers were present during the prayers today in a heavy police presence for security within the mosque premises.
In his statement, Maulana Kalbe Jawad said that the attack on Iran is against international law and humanity. He blamed the US and Israel for the entire incident, saying that this action will increase instability in the region.
He said that it is extremely unfortunate if countries that advocate for peace and justice in the world themselves take such steps. He added that such actions could further escalate global tensions.
Maulana Kalbe Jawad also questioned India’s silence on the Iran issue. He said that India has always advocated for peace and justice, and therefore, it should take a clear stand on this matter.
He said that the voice of a big democratic country like India is important on the events happening at the international level, hence the government should clarify its position on this issue.
During Friday prayers at the Asifi Mosque, a special prayer was offered for the well-being of Iran and its people. The cleric said that prayers were offered for peace in the world and that innocent people should not face any kind of violence.
After the prayers, some people also raised slogans against the US and Israel and condemned the attack.
Maulana Kalbe Jawad said that if the situation does not improve, a large demonstration will be held next Friday against the US and Israeli actions. He said that this demonstration will be peaceful and a large number of people can participate.
