In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dear children, the honorable representatives of the Islamic Consultative Assembly and the honorable ministers- may their graces last,
With greetings! I heard that you are not aware of the affair concerning His Excellency Mr. Muntaziri and that you do not know what the real issue is. You should be aware that for more than two years, in the communiques and messages your old father has tried his best for this issue not to end up here, but unfortunately he could not succeed. On the other hand, he had to demand the religious duty in order to take the necessary decision for the preservation of the system and Islam. Thus, with a wounded heart, I set aside the product of my life for the interest of the system and Islam.
God willing, it will be made clear for the sisters and brothers. There is no need to enjoin the matter that defending Islam and the system is not a joke. In case of infringement, anybody in whatever position will immediately be introduced to the people. I pray God, the Exalted, for the success of everybody. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
