During the meeting, El’Elaiyawi said, “In compliance with the directives of the Shia Muslim Supreme Religious Authority, the Imam Hussain Shrine has been persistently working to reinforce peaceful coexistence and help war-torn people," adding that the Imam Hussain Shrine supports peasants and farmers, for they are an important segment of the society.
