The recent assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28, 2026, has sparked widespread controversy in India. Khamenei, who ruled Iran for over three decades as a rigid Muslim fanatic and authoritarian dictator, was known for his staunch anti-India stance, including vocal support for "free Kashmir" and backing separatist elements in the region. The Indian National Congress party issued a statement unequivocally condemning the "targeted assassination" as a violation of international law, while offering condolences to the people of Iran and the global Shia community. Several Congress leaders and MLAs expressed personal grief, describing Khamenei as a figure of resistance and devotion, prompting a flood of online backlash. Social media users and netizens slammed the party for appearing to mourn a leader widely viewed as a terrxrist supporter and enemy of India's interests. Critics accused Congress of aligning with anti-India forces, highlighting Khamenei's history of hostility toward India and his regime's repressive policies. The episode has intensified debates over political alignments and foreign policy sensitivities in the wake of the dramatic events in Iran. @thetrid.ent
