Ayatollah Khamenei

The vicious progeny of Al Saud does not deserve to oversee the Hajj: Imam Khamenei

As the first anniversary approaches for the 500 Iranians martyred during last year's Hajj, some of their family members met with the Leader of the Revolution this Wednesday morning, September 7, 2016.

"The Islamic Ummah (nation) was grief stricken when over 7000 pilgrims were martyred. However, no country, save for Iran, reacted; the others opted for silence. Their silence is a major predicament, which has afflicted nations of Islam; this now stands as a major plight for the Islamic World.

Saudi rulers did not even offer a simple apology to Muslim nations; how shameless and barefaced they are! Even if we assume it was not preplanned, the mismanagement and imprudence is a crime.  What guarantee is there that similar tragedies won’t occur under similar conditions? The world of Islam should hold the Saudis accountable.

During the "Mina stampede" thousands of people lost their lives, because of a regime’s mismanagement and abuse; additionally, Human Rights organizations opted for dead silence. Those who trust the international organizations, must open their eyes to the reality of such organizations. Sometimes they make a fuss about the rights of animals; however, when thousands of people have lost their lives in a major tragedy, they remain silent.

We must understand that the powers in support of Al Saud are complicit in the Mina tragedy, and similar incidents. USA's hands are stained with the blood of those tragically martyred in Mina. It is with support of the US that the Saudi government committed this major crime, without any remorse. Moreover, in Yemen, Iraq, Bahrain and Syria, the American politicians are complicit in Saudi crimes. U.S. support has led the Saudi government towards committing crimes shamelessly and into stabbing the Islamic Ummah in the back.

One task, that is a must for the authorities of Islamic countries, as well as human rights organizations, is to establish an investigation committee to shed light on the truth behind the tragedy. The vicious and cursed progeny of Al Saud pays them hush money."

    It's our fault to give chance to be stabbed . It will be better to form a world muslim council that oversee the hajj management,the council will have more members from every muslim regions that will be more helpful for pilgrims.

    Iran is brave county. During mina stampede many Indian nationals had died but Indian government had not courage to condemn that act because the al saud and american have influence on BJP ruling party of India.
