Jammu: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday expressed concern over US-Israel attack on Iran during the holy fasting month of Ramzan, saying her prayers are with civilians affected by the conflict and Indian nationals stranded in the region.
Reacting to reports of an attack on Iran, the former chief minister said many Indian citizens, including students from Jammu and Kashmir, are currently in the affected areas and could face difficulties amid the hostilities.
“My prayers are with the people of Iran during the holy month of Ramzan. I pray that they are granted strength and courage in these testing times,” she told reporters on the sidelines of a party programme at Katra town in Reasi district.
Mufti also expressed hope that all Indian nationals stranded in the conflict zone return home safely.
She urged authorities to ensure the safety and evacuation of citizens, particularly students from Jammu and Kashmir studying there.
Mufti also took to X and posted “prayers for Iran and its resilient people as they face yet another act of aggression by Israel”.
“A nation that has long stood as a defining voice of the Muslim world draws its strength from unshakable faith and conviction. No missile or menace can extinguish its sovereignty or break its spirit. May Allah’s protection surround Iran, grant courage and patience to its people, and guide its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, with wisdom and strength,” she said.
