These two personalities-- Martyr Bahonar and Martyr Raja'ee-- were great role models on different aspects: for their sincerity, perseverance, enthusiasm, love for the people and working very hard.

I would like to commemorate our dear martyrs Rajai and Bahonar. As the gentleman in the meeting pointed out, these two personalities were really role models in different ways – in terms of sincerity and diligence. Of course, they did not have the opportunity to continue their work for a few more years, but “Spring-time shows whether a year will be auspicious or not” [a common saying in Farsi]. The kind of work that they did ensured that things would definitely move forward – particularly the late Rajai whose work lasted longer. This was because of their sincerity, enthusiasm, love of the people, diligence and the like.

May God punish the hypocritical and criminal hands who shed the blood of these two dear individuals. Unfortunately, today some western policies are trying to exonerate these notorious individuals. They are trying to portray MEK terrorists as innocent people. Of course, they will fail. These are individuals who murdered thousands of people inside the country: public and Friday prayer leaders; businesspeople, young students, and Islamic Revolution Guard Corps; to families who were sitting at home eating their iftar meals; the heads of the country, like Shahid Beheshti; the outstanding personalities of those days, these two great personalities and, many others who reached thousands in number, I do not know the exact figure.

This is while evil and malicious hands in the world of politics – whether those outside the country or their followers and lovers inside the country – want to purify these terrorists, portray them as decent and innocent individuals and to damage the reputation of our blessed and enlightened Imam (r.a.). Imam’s (r.a.) reputation cannot be damaged. Thus, they have been unsuccessful until today and they will continue to be unsuccessful in the future.
