‘Dey 9’ Epic Showed Importance of Belief in God, People in Islamic Revolution, Speaker Says
Addressing an open session of the parliament on Wednesday, he said that on that glorious day, people came to the scene with all their might when they saw the Islamic Revolution’s aspirations under threat.
The people came out proud from that difficult test on saving the country from insecurity and chaos, he stated.
Ghalibaf also said that it is now turn for the country’s official to pass the test of solving people’s problems.
On the 9th day of the Iranian calendar month of Dey twelve years ago (December 30, 2009), millions of Iranians held rallies in the capital Tehran and several other cities to condemn a foreign-orchestrated unrest that had erupted following the presidential elections earlier that year.
People were especially angered by incidents that had taken place days earlier in Tehran, where a group of opportunists had offended the sacred values of the nation on the day of Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussain (AS), the third Shia Imam.
The day has been designated in the Iranian calendar as the “day of insight and nation’s allegiance to religious leadership.”
