The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The Shawwal 8, the anniversary of the demolition of the blessed Imam’s graves in Al-Baqi Cemetery by the Wahhabis, is a bitter day. After the demolition of Al-Baqi, the Wahhabis went towards Karbala to do what did in Al-Baqi in Karbala, but they faced resistance from the Shiites and did not achieve their goal.”
