Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei drew criticism from India after he compared the suffering of Muslims in India to those in Gaza and Myanmar, stating that Muslims should not be indifferent to each other's struggles. Khamenei's remarks were made during a tweet on the occasion of Prophet Mohammed's birth anniversary, calling for Muslim solidarity worldwide. In response, India's Ministry of External Affairs condemned his comments as 'misinformed and unacceptable,' urging countries that critique minority rights to examine their own records first. Khamenei's statement has been seen as particularly contentious given Iran's own human rights issues. This incident highlights ongoing tensions regarding religious and minority rights discussions between the two nations.
