Mufti Gulzar Ahmed Naeemi, another keynote speaker in the ceremony, said that the diverse crowd at the funeral of the martyred Resistance Leaders transcending ethnic and sectarian lines confirmed that martyr Nasrallah was a leader for all who stood against oppression, not just a figure confined to Lebanon or the Shiite community.
