In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Holy Mashhad
Shirazi:
The receipt pf your noble telegram is hereby acknowledged with gratitude. By the will of God, the Exalted, and the absolute support of the great nation, we will curtail the hands of the traitors and their lackeys from the country. Those who feel powerless, resort to spreading rumors and under delusion, they want to force the noble people of Kurdistan to confront the disciplinary forces. If it is true that the police force has committed massacre, why then the noble people of Paveh, Sanandaj, and other areas welcomed them, showered them with flowers, and declared their support for the Islamic Republic? It is hoped that the disciplinary forces will crack down on the insurgents, and save the region and the innocent people from the clutches of these bloodthirsty elements without any need for mobilizing the great force of the nation. I hope for Your Eminence's benevolent prayers as you are in the vicinity of the holy shrine (of the 8 th Imam (`a)). May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
