Ashok Koul, BJP General Secretary (Organization) for Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, participated in the 9th Muharram procession in Budgam, extending a gesture of solidarity with the Shia Muslim community. During the procession, he also distributed water to the participants as a mark of respect and service.
Speaking on the occasion, Ashok Koul said, Muharram is a time of deep reflection and remembrance. It teaches us about sacrifice, truth, and standing up for justice. Today, we stand with our Shia brothers and sisters in honoring the legacy of Imam Hussain (AS), whose message transcends religion and speaks to all of humanity.
