Kashmir MP's Tribute to Iran's Khamenei Sparks Exchange in Lok Sabha

During a Lok Sabha discussion on railway budget allocation, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference MP Agha Syed Ruhullah Mehdi expressed condolences for the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the killing of civilians in Iran amid recent US-Israeli airstrikes. A ruling alliance member reportedly told him to 'go to Iran,' prompting Mehdi to respond by questioning why he should leave and criticizing the government's stance, referencing Prime Minister Modi's remarks on India-Israel relations. The chairperson asked Mehdi to confine his remarks to the budget.
