Public outrage over Yazid’s advocacy by Hisham Elahi Zaheer

Shiite News: In a recent viral video, Hisham Elahi Zaheer has supported Yazid bin Muawiya and denied Yazid’s role in the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS).

During the program, the host referred to the famous tradition of Yazid’s son, Mu’awiya bin Yazid, in which he confessed to the crimes of his father Yazid and announced his abdication from the caliphate. Hisham Elahi Zaheer called this tradition weak and tried to deny the historical facts.

Historical sources and researchers have agreed that the cursed Yazid is responsible for the murder of Imam Hussain (AS) and his family.

This statement of Hisham Elahi Zaheer is hurting the sentiments of the lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and causing public outrage.

People and scholars have demanded the government to take strict legal action against Hisham Elahi Zaheer.
