ABWA Official Website – On Thursday, March 9, 2023, at the opening ceremony of the meeting hall of the governorate of Khomam, in the presence of the governor and the employees of the city, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “In the past, we used to say that we don’t have opportunity to serve people. But today, thanks to the Islamic Revolution, the authorities have been given the opportunity to serve people.”
Pointing out that being a republic, along with being Islamic, are pillars that should not be harmed and undermined, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts said, “We should consider serving as a golden opportunity. Our behavior, morality, and life at the beginning of a position should not be different from the end of it.”
Referring to the emphasis of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution regarding the service movement, he added, “Today, to build trust, we need a service movement in the country. In the war of narratives, the enemies are far ahead of us and have the news sources at their disposal.”
“If we treat the people honestly and unpretentiously, they will definitely support us,” Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized while advising the authorities to be honest in their behavior, speech, and work for the people.
“We must accept the position in a healthy way and have clean votes, opinions, and campaigns. If honesty is manifested in us, we will definitely be successful,” added the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
“If we intend to serve God, we must renew our allegiance and communicate with the generation of the Revolution,” he added, “Due to narrative warfare, our youth have distanced themselves from us. But if we communicate simply, they will return.”
“Religion (Islam) speaks of nothing but justice, spirituality, morality, honesty, purity, and sincerity. It is not possible for our youth to be hostile to these desirable and natural traits,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“The presence of authorities among the people in natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes is a good action. We should try to work honestly for people because this is what people expect,” expressed the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
Regarding the recent incident of “poisoning of innocent children in schools”, he emphasized, “We ask the security forces and the anonymous soldiers of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) (referring to Iran’s intelligence-security forces) to identify and arrest the perpetrators of the incident as soon as possible and punish them severely. These (attacks) cannot be forgiven in any way.”
“If we don’t take advantage of opportunities, they become threats,” Ayatollah Ramazani warned.
“Office is a trust in the hands of officials. We must give value to the office, and we must not abuse the position of the ministry and the representation (of people),” said the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts at the end.
It is worth noting that in this ceremony, with the presence of Ayatollah Ramazani, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, the meeting hall of the governorate of Khomam city was inaugurated. /345/
