Mehdi called off his election campaign to express solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon.

They are fighting Israel for their existence and Israel is trying to weaken it. This is a great loss. He was a great power against Israel, he had provided strength to the resistance. This was a protest, we also wanted to express solidarity with them. People of J-K understand the injustice done by Israel to Palestine. People of J-K have always stood with the people of Palestine.”
