Srinagar: The people of Kashmir have donated cars, motorcycles, personal jewellery items, copper utensils and even land to support Iran in its war against the United States and Israel.People across the spectrum, including some non-Muslims and a major section of the Shia community, have responded to the call for donations made by the Iranian Embassy "This is a humanitarian response to express solidarity with Iran in whatever way we can. We have protested the aggression of Israel and the US and now people are donating in every small way they can," Aga Mujtaba of Anjuman-e-Shari Shian told ET.The donations have been either transferred directly to the accounts provided by the Iranian embassy or organisers are transferring cash on behalf of donors to these accounts. "Gold ornaments, copper utensils and other items are taken to shops for exchange of cash which is then deposited in the given account," said Mujtaba.Budgam PDP MLA Aga Muntazir has announced that he will donate a month's salary to Iran.
