In a meeting with a group of Pakistani intellectuals, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “The Ashura uprising was the continuation of Ghadir, as Ghadir is considered as the continuation to the mission of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h). In other words, Ghadir was the same as Ashura during the time of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), and Ashura became Ghadir during the time of Imam Hussain (a.s.).”
