Hundreds hit the streets in the Muslim-majority region, denouncing the killing of Nasrallah and Israel’s war on Gaza.
Hundreds of protesters have rallied in Indian-administered Kashmir denouncing the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, with top pro-India politicians suspending their campaigning for the ongoing regional elections.
Over the weekend hundreds of protesters took to the streets holding up pictures of the Lebanese leader and chanting slogans including “Oh martyrs of Palestine, we are with you!” They raised signs and banners with messages denouncing Israel and the United States.
The Lebanese armed group confirmed on Saturday that Nasrallah was assassinated in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh on Friday, dealing a huge blow to the group engaged in cross-border fighting with Israel since October.
Abbas Ali, 25, a college student who protested in the main city of Srinagar on Saturday, told Al Jazeera that Nasrallah had stood against oppression and injustice.
