Srinagar, July, 28(KNS): Former Union Minister and Congress leader Prof. Saifuddin Soz on Friday paid glowing tributes to Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A.) and his devoted companions (R.A), who sacrificed their lives in the historic battle in Karbala over 14 centuries ago.
In a statement issued, Soz said that Youm-e-Ashura is being observed with profound reverence and solemnity to commemorate and mourn the Shadah of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his revered companions.
"The supreme sacrifices of Imam Aaali Mukam and his companions have taught us the invaluable virtue of standing firm against injustice, tyranny, and oppression, even when our very lives are at stake. The supreme sacrifices of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions have taught us that we must speak out for truth and stand against oppression, even if the oppressor is related to us." Soz said.
He further said, "More than 14 centuries ago, the beloved grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sacrificed himself and his beloved ones in the battle of Karbala but did not bow before the oppressor. In doing so, Imam Hussain (RA) has taught us how to be righteous, kind, patient, and brave while fighting against oppression."(KNS).
