Kargil, Ladakh | The Azadi Times: Thousands of people, including women and children, took part in a large and peaceful rally in the Kargil district of Ladakh in India-administered Kashmir on Wednesday, expressing solidarity with Iran amid heightened geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
According to The Azadi Times, the demonstration was organized by the Imam Khomeini Memorial Trust (IKMT) and drew participants from across the district. Marchers carried placards bearing images of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while chanting slogans emphasizing unity, resistance to foreign intervention, and regional stability.
The rally began at Jama Masjid Kargil, passed through the main commercial areas of the town, and concluded at the Old Taxi Stand, where a public gathering was held. A separate women’s procession, organized by the Zainabiya Women Welfare Society, later merged with the main assembly, underscoring broad community participation.
Addressing the gathering, religious and community leaders, including Haji Asghar Ali Karbalai and Hujjat-ul-Islam Sheikh Sadiq Rajaei, praised Iran’s leadership and condemned what they described as ongoing attempts by the United States and Israel to destabilize the region. Speakers called for respect for national sovereignty and urged global powers to resolve disputes through dialogue rather than confrontation.
Organizers emphasized that the rally was peaceful and humanitarian in nature, aimed at expressing moral support rather than inciting conflict. Participants also appealed to the international community to prioritize peace, justice, and diplomatic solutions in the Middle East.
The demonstration concluded peacefully, with no reports of unrest or clashes, as participants dispersed calmly after the event.
