Addressing a group of people mourning on the 23rd departure anniversary of the late Imam Khomeini here on Saturday, President said Imam believed that the last Imam of Shiites was the only and the most complete figure in the contemporary age.

He said the world nations are seeking justice and true freedom.

He added that under God’s grace, the world would soon be free of bullying powers and tyrants and monotheism and justice will government the world instead.

“Imam [Khomeini] affirmed that we revolted and stood firm to claim the rights of nations and establish justice, and it was for this very cause that he took a stand against the Zionist regime that was obvious injustice and an insult to nations and humanity,” said Dr.Ahmadinejad .

“Imam [Khomeini] was against the foundation of the Zionist regime and on this basis he established the [international] Day of Quds and stood by the principle of defending the oppressed people of Palestine,” said the president, adding, “Imam was the only person declaring that Zionist thought and domination (over Palestine) must be uprooted from the human community.”

Dr.Ahmadinejad emphasized that Imam Khomeini remains alive today, “since monotheism, justice, love and affection are alive.”

Noting that Imam Khomeini never feared any of the global powers due to his submissiveness to God, President Ahmadinejad also reiterated that the late founder of the Islamic Republic remained upfront and frank when it came to the implementation of divine decrees.

The president also reminded the massive audience that the revered Imam invited people to defend justice and take a stand against oppression while he also stood against all forms of discrimination and oppression. “Imam clearly sketched the line of justice,” he added.
