the head of the institute for compilation and publication of Imam Khomeini’s works.

Ayatollah Najafabadi stressed the need to devise special programs during the week, which coincides with the first week of month of Jamadi al-thani,

on the Islamic calendar.

He said a range of programs should be composed to convey Imam’s dynamic message and reach out a wide range of  audience. 

The reputed scholar also praised those who had earlier managed various programs on the anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s father's martyrdom.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Najafabadi said how mainstream western media had launched a vicious campaign when a number of instigators and rioters

desperately attempted to harm Imam’s ancestral house.

 Addressing the gathering and pointing to the unpleasant incident at Imam’s ancestral house, Dr. Komsari said that such a vicious

systematic  campaign by ill-wishers and the main Western media shows that Imam’s ideals and sites attributed to him play a central role and remain

great symbols of Islamic revolution and source of aspiration.

nationwide through across entire Iran.
