Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei said in a cordial meeting with people of the Yazd provincial city of Abarkooh central Iran that the country's progressive trend will be maintained provided the authorities feel accountable towards the nation and the nation too stays self-confident.
In the fourth day of his visit to the central Iranian province, Ayatollah Khamenei put premium on the upcoming March 14 eighth parliamentary elections, adding that the lively and motivated Iranian nation would turn the upcoming edition of elections into a lustrous one against the enemy desire.
Ayatollah Khamenei offered heartfelt thanks to the ancient city's people for the warm welcome they accorded to him.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the diligent mood of the Iranian nation was a tribute to the Islamic Revolution, adding that the future of any country would be guaranteed provided it stays lively and motivated. Ayatollah Khamenei thanked God that the Iranian nation enjoys the privilege.
The IR Leader noted the defunct Pahlavid regime suffered the painful lack of accountability towards people, adding that the regime's authorities were only minding those areas of governing where they could satisfy their personal interests.
"However, the revolution changed the situation and set fair attitude and accountability before all the people nationwide as the primary undertaking for the authorities," Ayatollah Khamenei said, adding that as an immediate outcome of the attitude, the serving administration had been taking the job to handle the people's affairs whatever point they are residing in the country.
Naming national self-trust as the driving force behind the country's achievements, Ayatollah Khamenei recalled a propaganda campaign by the world's colonial powers to create a self-denying mood in the Iranian nation.
"The Islamic Revolution however purged the pollution of self-denial from the air of society so that the Iranian nation is now treading the path of progress by relying on Islam as well as its inner resources and its illuminant historical background," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The IR Leader urged the nation to keep and boost its confidence in the country's prospects, adding that despite the large size of achievements already made by the country following the revolution, they are still trivial considering the status and position of the Iranian nation and that to advance to the prospective peak, the pace of progress must be accelerated.
Ayatollah Khamenei observed that the secret to the nation's non-stop accomplishments lies with its national diligence, saying, "Any Iranian, wherever residing in the country and whatever job he or she has undertaken, must feel accountable towards the progress of the dear Iran and duly fulfill his or her share of duty in the nation's general march towards the aspirations."
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Iranian nation delivered a monumental service to the human community by its provision of a model of Islam which coudl appeal to the needs of time.
"Today, the advanced socio-political doctrine of Islam, presented by the Islamic Republic of Iran, stands as a model and guide for the nations which keep thirst for spirituality and salvation. The world's fair-minded thinkers too confirm this reality," the Islamic Revolution Leader affirmed.
Ayatollah Khamenei then appreciated the President Ahmadinejad Administration for its hard work and its efforts to promote revolutionary values.
"Indeed, the Administration has proved untiring in its rendering of services. Moreover, besides its material services to the people, it takes pride in promoting the revolutionary slogans and values," the IR Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the global conspirators had been frustrated by the firm resolve and lively mood of the Iranian nation, adding that the Iranian people would not show any weakness under the pressure of world public opinion.
Ayatollah Khamenei appreciated the Iranian popular perseverance in the nuclear issue, adding, "The resistance proves a national must because unless we pursue the utilization of nuclear energy, we will lag behind the world. Moreover, any passivity would make the enemy dare advance and thereby as the people from all walks of life nationwide have already reaffirmed, access to the scientific strength and the nuclear energy is the undisputable right of the Iranian nation."
Ayatollah Khamenei then underlined that a massive turnout in the March 14 parliamentary elections would help demonstrate the firm resolve and purpose of the Iranian nation.
"The aliens have always tried to demote the luster of elections and incite apathy in people. However, the people have acted opposite their will in parliamentary elections and other elections ever and have made presence in the scene responsibly," Ayatollah Khamenei said, hoping that the people would repeat their enthusiastic performance in the upcoming elections.
Ayatollah Khamenei underlined that the elections must turn into a positive, enthusiastic and rewarding scene of competition and urged the candidates and their supporters to strictly avoid any electoral misconducts including defamation or libeling.
"We pray God to confer the opportunity on the Iranian nation to fulfill its duty in the eighth Majlis elections," Ayatollah Khamenei prayed.
