Further, he compared his battle for survival with that of Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, who was outnumbered and killed by an army sent by Umayyad caliph Yazid I in Karbala. The battle has a central place in Islamic history and tradition and has come to symbolise sacrifice in the struggle for right against wrong.
In his tweet, Imran Khan wrote, "In Karbala, facing an enemy that far outnumbered them, Imam Hussain AS, his family and followers laid down their lives to show people the difference between Haq (right/truth) and Baatil (falsehood)."
