SRINAGAR, OCTOBER

forever in the human conscience, the way he lived and the way he died shows us
the value he placed on morality and honour. He (exalted Imam) taught us the
true purpose of our existence and the perfection of our morals and ethics, the
Minister added.

Hussain (AS) is a role model for humanity as he fought for justice and struggle
to save the religion from falling into the hands of an incapable, indulgent,
unjust ruler who lacked intellect, piety, character and empathy to lead the

for what is truly ours, he taught us to stand for justice, humanity and never
