Ayatollah Khamenei laid to rest as seven-day funeral attracts over 15 million people

Iran has concluded a seven-day state funeral for its late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with authorities claiming that more than 15 million mourners participated in ceremonies held across Iran and Iraq. Khamenei, who led Iran for nearly 37 years, was laid to rest in his hometown of Mashhad, bringing to an end one of the largest funeral processions in the country's modern history. The funeral began last Saturday and passed through several major cities, including Tehran, Qom, Najaf and Karbala, before concluding in Mashhad. The funeral procession began at around 3:00 pm on Imam Reza Street and concluded late in the evening at the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (AS), where funeral prayers were led by Khamenei's eldest son, Hojjatoleslam Seyyed Mostafa Hosseini Khamenei. The procession also honoured members of Khamenei's family who were killed alongside him, reports IRNA news agency. Huge crowds lined the procession route, surrounding the vehicle carrying the remains of the late leader and his family members. Mourners waved Iranian national flags and red flags symbolizing vengeance, while chants of Death to America and Death to Israel echoed through the streets. The week-long ceremonies saw millions of mourners gather along procession routes, at mosques and major Shiite shrines. Iranian state media described the turnout as a demonstration of national unity and regional solidarity, while the funeral also drew large crowds in the Iraqi holy cities of Najaf and Karbala. Authorities imposed extensive security measures throughout the funeral period, including road closures, flight restrictions and heightened deployment of security personnel to manage the massive crowds. Khamenei became only the second ruler in Iran's history to be buried in Mashhad, following Nader Shah, who was laid to rest there in 1747. The funeral unfolded amid continued regional tensions following the conflict that claimed Khamenei's life. Despite the ongoing geopolitical developments, the week-long mourning ceremonies remained the central focus across Iran, with millions paying their final respects to the country's longest-serving Supreme Leader. Iranian officials described the funeral as one of the largest public gatherings in the country's history, with participation spanning seven days and two countries. However, the funeral concluded under the shadow of renewed military escalation in the Middle East. The United States launched fresh airstrikes across Iran early Thursday, targeting about 90 sites that Washington said were linked to Tehran's military capabilities and threats to navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The US military said the operation was intended to further weaken Iran's ability to disrupt international shipping. Iran responded by launching missiles and drones towards several US-allied countries in the region, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Jordan. Air defence systems intercepted most of the incoming projectiles, although Kuwait reported one person injured by falling debris. Iran's Health Ministry said the latest wave of US strikes killed at least 14 people and injured 78 others, most of them members of the armed forces. Iranian officials also accused the United States of carrying out strikes near the country's only nuclear power plant at Bushehr, although US Central Command did not confirm targeting the facility. The renewed exchange of attacks has raised fears that the fragile ceasefire announced last month could collapse completely. US President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating the ceasefire by attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and warned of a stronger military response if such incidents continued. This is in retribution for yesterday's bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse, Trump said on social media. Iran rejected the accusations and maintained that it would respond to any military action targeting the country. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said, If you strike, you'll get hit, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held consultations with regional leaders, including counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Oman, in an apparent effort to reduce tensions. Despite the renewed violence, diplomatic efforts to negotiate a permanent ceasefire are expected to resume following the completion of Khamenei's funeral. The talks are expected to focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, easing regional tensions and addressing Iran's nuclear programme.

NC betrayed people's mandate: Sat Sharma

J&K Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma on Thursday accused the National Conference (NC) of betraying peoples mandate and asserted that the BJP would robustly fight for citizens rights by exposing its (NCs) failure. He was chairing a meeting of senior party leaders at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, to review the organisational and prevailing socio-political situation in Jammu and Kashmir and finalise the party's strategy to intensify public outreach and safeguard the interests of the people. The meeting was attended by J&K BJP general secretaries Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria and Gopal Mahajan; MLA Sham Lal Sharma, along with other senior party leaders. Sat Sharma alleged that the Omar Abdullah-led National Conference government utterly failed to fulfill the promises it made in its 2024 election manifesto. He said the NC secured votes by making unrealistic assurances, but after assuming office it abandoned the very people who trusted it. The government has failed on every major front, including unemployment, inflation, erratic power and water supply, poor civic amenities, delayed development works, deteriorating road infrastructure, and effective grievance redressal. Instead of providing accountable governance, the NC leadership is busy misleading the people through political rhetoric and diversionary tactics, he maintained. He said that the people voted with hope, but the NC government repaid their trust with betrayal. The gulf between its promises and performance continues to widen. Rather than solving public problems, the government is trying to distract people from its failures, Sat Sharma said.

Apni party a platform to serve people, protect rights: Bukhari

Srinagar, July 9: Several political and social leaders from Lasjan on Thursday joined the Apni Party during a function held at the party headquarters in Srinagar, with party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari welcoming the new entrants. Addressing the gathering, Bukhari said the Apni Party does not belong to any family or political dynasty but is a platform dedicated to serving the people of Jammu and Kashmir and safeguarding their rights. He assured the newly joined members that the partys policies are based on truth, integrity and public service and urged them to work towards strengthening the organisation at the grassroots level. Referring to the developments after August 5, 2019, Bukhari said the party had approached the Union Government to represent the concerns and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He claimed that the partys efforts helped in securing safeguards related to land and jobs and contributed to the release of around 3,200 detainees. Although we did not have a public mandate at that time, we represented the collective will and aspirations of the people, Bukhari said. He urged people to support Apni Party, saying it was committed to working for peace, development and the future of the younger generation. Bukhari also criticised traditional political parties, alleging that they had relied on false promises and emotional slogans instead of addressing public concerns. Those who joined the party included NC Block President Lasjan Latif Ahmad, Sameer Malik, Shabir Ahmad Mir, Mushtaq Ahmad, Fayaz Ahmad Mir, Mir Gulshan, Zahoor Ahmad and Imtiyaz Ahmad Mir, among others. Senior Apni Party leaders, including Mohammad Dilawar Mir, Javaid Mustafa Mir, Rafi Ahmad Mir, Mohammad Ashraf Mir and other office bearers, were present on the occasion.

Quote of the day by BK sister Shivani: People can do what we want them to do, and be the way we want them to be, but it does not mean they love us. There can be someone who is the opposite of how we want them to be. Because they carry different sanskars, but they truly love us. Let us not equate Love with Expectations.

Unmet expectations often lead us to question love from close ones. BK Sister Shivani teaches that actions reflect sanskars, not affection levels. People may act differently due to their unique conditioning and life experiences. We should not equate love with the fulfillment of our personal expectations. This perspective helps distinguish disappointment from genuine care in relationships.

Breakups cause mental discomfort as the brain dislikes uncertainty and unresolved endings. Recalling breakups activates brain regions associated with physical pain, explaining heartbreak's ache. Rumination prolongs sadness and anxiety, trapping individuals in cycles of self-blame. True healing often stems from personal acceptance and self-compassion, not external validation. Moving on involves finding peace with the past, even when questions remain unanswered.

Jammu, Jul 7: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Nitin Nabin on Tuesday emphasised the synergised efforts to win peoples trust in J&K the ideological cradle of party, bolster organisational structure and expand its (BJPs) footprints across the Union Territory. He exhorted the BJP MLAs to work proactively in tandem with the cadre to address peoples issues to strengthen the party's prospects with nation first approach. Nitin Nabin made this exhortation during his address in a joint meeting with the J&K MPs, MLAs, former MLAs, former Legislative Council members, state general secretaries, former District Development Council (DDC) members and former Block Development Council (BDC) members. At the outset of the meeting, he reviewed the prevailing socio-political situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the organisational roadmap for the coming months. He emphasised that the BJP's greatest strength was in its disciplined organisation and dedicated cadre, asserting that elected representatives and organisational workers must function as one cohesive team to further strengthen the party at the grassroots. NitinNabin said that every MP, MLA and senior leader should maintain constant coordination with the party cadre, ensuring their active participation in all organisational programmes. He said that such synergy between the organisation and public representatives was indispensable for strengthening the BJP's presence across every village, ward and booth. He called upon all leaders to intensify public contact, remain accessible to the people and effectively communicate the policies and achievements of the Narendra Modi-led government. BJP national general secretary, RajyaSabha MP, and in-charge J&K affairs TarunChugh; J&K BJP president and RajyaSabha MP Sat Sharma; Union Minister of State in PMO DrJitendra Singh; Leader of the Opposition in J&K Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma and former Deputy Chief Minister DrNirmal Singh shared the dais with the national president in the meeting at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. Laying special emphasis on the Mann Ki Baat programme, NitinNabin directed that it must be organised at every single booth across Jammu and Kashmir with maximum public participation. He pointed out that through Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister consistently highlighted ordinary citizens achieving extraordinary feats and encouraged numerous social reform movements, inspiring millions to contribute towards nation-building. NitinNabin, along with other senior leaders appreciated the dedicated efforts of MLA Balwant Singh Mankotia under Udhampur district for successfully organising Mann Ki Baat programmes on maximum booths and asked others to maximize their efforts in the coming months. Sat Sharma said that the guidance provided by the national president would further energise the party cadre across Jammu and Kashmir. He said the J&K BJP always functioned with discipline and dedication, and every worker was committed to taking the party's programmes to the grassroots.

The BJP president described Dogra as one of the tallest architects of nationalist politics in the region. He remembered his immense contribution to the cause of national unity and the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India. He said that Dogras sacrifices continued to inspire generations of BJP workers. Pandit Prem Nath Dogra and Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee devoted their entire life to safeguarding the unity, integrity and sovereignty of India. They led the struggle for EkNishan, EkVidhan, Ek Pradhan, which became the ideological foundation of the movement that ultimately culminated in the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A under the leadership of Prime Minister NarendraModi.
