The Pakistani politician said the Israeli regime, with the support of the United States and the West, has committed horrific crimes against the oppressed people of Palestine and everyone was silent about these crimes, but it was the Islamic Republic of Iran that, always, rushed to the aid of the oppressed Palestinians.
Mohammad Afzal Haidri Secretary General of Association of Shiite Seminaries of Pakistan also described Imam Khomeini as a high-ranking Islamic and revolutionary figure and said his thoughts and ideas are the source of revival of Islam and religious and political awakening of Muslims.
