Iran's ECC calls for displaying grandeur of revolution on Bahman 22

TEHRAN, Jan. 30 (MNA) -- Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani called on the people to attend the nationwide rallies on Bahman 22 to show national unity and the grandeur of the Islamic Revolution.

Bahman 22, which falls on February 11 this year, marks the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

“Despite the existence of diverse views (on political issues facing the country), all people should turn the Bahman 22 into a maneuver of national unity and support for the Islamic Republic by their massive participation (in rallies),” Rafsanjani told the Expediency Council session on Saturday.

Underscoring the importance of this year’s marches, he said the global arrogance, led by the United States, has been seeking to intensify political pressure on Tehran and has taken steps to impose new sanctions against Iran.

Some countries which didn’t used to take hostile stance against Iran have recently aligned themselves with the hegemonic powers, he added.

Considering such a critical juncture, it is vitally essential that people avoid divisive actions in order to neutralize the foreigners’ pressure and to safeguard the sacred Islamic system, he said.

“All considerate people who love the system should try to hold rallies on the “national Eid of Bahman 22” peacefully and magnificently, because any clash or violent act will be in line with the enemies’ plans.”

Rafsanjani went on to say that the Bahman 22 is the symbol of people’s loyalty to the Islamic system and this day is an important episode to preserve and strengthen national unity.
