Speaking at a conference held at **Madrassa Khatam-un-Nabiyin (PBUH)** in Quetta to mark the **36th death anniversary of Imam Khomeini**, Maulana Hidayat ur Rehman emphasized that despite the presence of millions of Muslim soldiers, stockpiles of arms, and even nuclear weapons, **mass killings in Gaza continue unchecked**. He praised **Imam Khomeini** as a symbol of resistance, honesty, and Islamic dignity, who stood firmly for the rights of the oppressed.

The conference, titled *“Imam Khomeini’s Role in Supporting Oppressed Palestine”*, began with **Qur’an recitation** in memory of Imam Khomeini and the martyrs of Palestine.

Prominent speakers at the event included:

* **Allama Maqsood Ali Domki**, Central Secretary for Publications of **Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) Pakistan**, who noted that Imam Khomeini not only awakened Iran but also inspired oppressed communities across the globe.

* **Allama Sheikh Vilayat Hussain Jafari**, **Maulana Muhammad Arif Damrah**, **Maulana Chaman Ali Afzali**, and **Syed Mir Hussain Hussaini** also paid tribute to Imam Khomeini’s vision and leadership.
