Congress MLA stages protest outside Assembly over attack on Iran

Jammu, Mar 27: Congress MLA Irfan Hafiz Lone on Friday staged a protest outside the Assembly complex here, condemning the attack on Iran and criticizing the Union Government’s response to it.

The protest was held before proceedings of the House began. Lone raised slogans and accused the Government of India of maintaining silence over the situation in the Middle East.

He said the attack on Iran amounted to “murder of humanity” and asserted that India has historically stood with sovereign nations facing aggression.

He alleged that the Centre’s silence was being widely questioned and claimed it created an impression that it had “compromised.”

The Congress legislator said donations made by Kashmiris for Iran reflect humanitarian values. —(KNO)
