Letter [to Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini]

[In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Some individuals after the victory of the Islamic Revolution have occupied important positions and have also reached the high governmental positions. In some of their statements and writings, they have attributed certain issues to Your Eminence while some of the groups have claimed that while in Paris they were delegated on behalf of Your Eminence to form the interim government in Iran. What are your blessed views on such issues?

Sincerely,

Ahmad Khomeini]

In His Most Exalted Name

Unfortunately, while I am still alive, many of the issues that have been mentioned by some individuals or some groups and have been attributed in their writings and statements to me are contrary to the truth. Today there are many books and treatises that have been printed or are under print that deliberately or mistakenly are designed to spread lies or make history. The beloved nation must know that the yardstick for the accuracy of what they have attributed and are attributing to me is my own writings and statements that are recorded. My statements while I am alive are either published in the mass circulation newspapers or are proven by two just witnesses of the theologians and are devoid of leanings to political parties and factions. The latter emphasis is because some political personalities justify lies for their own objectives although apparently they may seem to be pious. I seek refuge from evil and the carnal soul in the Blessed and Exalted God.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
