PM Narendra Modi (Image file: PMO/PTI) The death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on March 1, 2026, has now triggered a deeply political debate at home. The opposition has demanded that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government issue a formal condolence statement on Khamenei’s assassination by the American-Israeli forces. No less than Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has written an article accusing the government of picking a side in the conflict. Critics of the opposition argue that when Muammar Gaddafi was killed in 2011 during a NATO-backed operation, the UPA government did not issue any high-profile political mourning statement.
