SRINAGAR: Residents in Indian-administered Kashmir donated cash and precious metals on Monday to support Iranians affected by the Middle East war, while volunteers said some people also offered sheep or goats. The Iranian Embassy in New Delhi has shared several videos of Kashmiris donating to help them, and issued bank details where cash donations can be paid. "We will never forget your kindness and humanity," it said on Sunday on its social media account. "Thank you, India."
Earlier this month, thousands of Kashmiris waved red, black and yellow flags during demonstrations following joint strikes by the United States and Israel that killed Iran's Ali Khamenei. "Iran may be an Islamic republic, but that's not the only reason we are helping them," she added. "When Palestinians needed aid, it was Iran that stood up to provide them with it." Piles of Indian rupee banknotes were laid out on sheets, alongside gold jewellery, and copper and silver tea pots. — AFP
