The recent k'lling of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in targeted strikes has sparked sharp political reactions in India, highlighting long-standing tensions over his past comments on the country's internal affairs. Khamenei had repeatedly criticized India's policies, including the 2019 abrogation of Article 370, which revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status. He urged India to adopt a "just policy" toward Kashmir and expressed concern over the situation of Muslims there, prompting diplomatic protests from New Delhi. In 2020, amid the Delhi riots linked to the Citizenship Amendment Act protests, Khamenei described the violence as a "mxssacre of Muslims" by "extremist Hindus" and called for action against such elements, using hashtags like #/IndianMuslimsInDanger. His remarks drew strong rebukes from India's Ministry of External Affairs, which summoned the Iranian envoy multiple times over perceived interference. More recently, following India's Operation Sindoor in 2025—a military response to a terrxrist attxck in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, involving strikes on militant infrastructure in Pakistan—Khamenei voiced support for Pakistan, aligning with positions seen as anti-India. He also advocated for the "oppressed" in Kashmir, echoing calls that some interpret as backing a "Free Kashmir" narrative. Amid these historical frictions, the Congress party has faced criticism for its response to Khamenei's dxath. Leaders like Rahul Gandhi questioned the Modi government's silence on the assxssination, asking if it endorsed such actions against a head of state and urging condemnation of the strikes. Some opposition voices have mourned Khamenei or criticized India's restrained stance, leading to accusations that certain quarters appear sympathetic to a figure who frequently opposed Indian policies on Kashmir and communal issues. This contrast has fueled debates about foreign interference, bilateral ties, and domestic political alignments in the wake of the escalating West Asia conflict. @thetrid.ent
