Mumbai buzzed with Congress leader Hussain Dalwai’s forthright views on Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s death. ‘Protests by the grieving aren’t amiss—he led them, killed brutally. Is that fair?’ Dalwai opined, echoing Sonia Gandhi amid U.S.-Israel conspiracy claims.
‘America imposes its will worldwide, picking foreign leaders. Absurd interference! Our Iran relations were exemplary,’ he condemned, stressing sovereignty.
Dalwai commended Gandhi’s callout of governmental reticence. ‘No statement in days? Lead on peace—talks over conflict. Iran backed us always,’ he implored.
On MVA’s Rajya Sabha squabble, optimism prevailed. ‘Kharge’s leadership needs numbers. Seat to us now, another soon. Uddhav takes Council. Congress formula works—deal imminent,’ he predicted.
Targeting minister Nitesh Rane, Dalwai highlighted Konkan crises. ‘Revive the region: chemicals wiped 132 fish varieties—world-unique. Leaks threaten lives. Govern, don’t polarize with religion. Stick to your small role,’ he advised sternly.
