Hyderabad: The Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Hyderabad on Tuesday, March 2, announced that a condolence book would be opened for people to honour Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei.
“All communities are invited to visit the Consulate at Road No 7, Banjara Hills, on March 5 and 6 between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm to honour his memory and legacy and record their message of respect,” a statement from the Consulate said.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed after the United States and Israel launched large-scale airstrikes across Iran on February 28 targeting hundreds of military and strategic sites, including air defence systems, missile launch facilities and bases linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Following his death, protests erupted across India, including Hyderabad’s Purani Haveli, the Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) and at Chanchalguda where thousands of Shias mourned him.
