Ministry of External Affairs issued a strong condemnation of Khamenei's comments, which had criticized the treatment of minorities in India.
“We strongly deplore the comments made regarding minorities in India by the Supreme Leader of Iran. These are misinformed and unacceptable. Countries commenting on minorities are advised to look at their own record before making any observations about others,” the ministry stated.
Khamenei had expressed concern over the “suffering” of Muslims in India, as well as in Gaza and Myanmar, and called for global solidarity among Muslim communities.
