Message [Characteristics of the Islamic Consultative Assebly (Majlis) in the Islamic Republic]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Majlis is at the top of all organizations of the Islamic Republic and enjoys special characteristics the most important of which is Islamic-national nature. It is Islamic because under the aegis of the Guardian Council it makes every effort to pass the laws, which are not against the sacred rules of Islam. It is national because it has emerged from within the nation and the east and west and their affiliates have no say in its destiny. Today, Majlis is the real house of the nation. Contrary o the time of the arrogant powers, particularly the tyrannical Pahlavi regime, it is constituted on the votes of the masses of people committed to Islam and the unclean grasp of the governments, arrogant powers and tribal chiefs as well as westernized and easternized people are short of it. Today, the government that is trusted by the Majlis is the true government of the oppressed who are inheritors of the earth. May God preserved the great blessing of Islam, independence and freedom for the oppressed people of Iran and liberate other oppressed peoples from the bondage of tyrants.
