In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Paralympics Caravan of Mina Martyrs,
You brought glory to your country and you made the dear people happy. You reflected the cry of the innocent martyrs of Mina throughout the world. You showed off the blessed clothes of ihram to the enemies of Islamic slogans. I thank you sincerely.
I hope that in observing religious rules, you appear – like always - with the confidence that befits your status. That painful incident that occurred to our athlete warrior and disabled war veteran – to dear Bahman Golbarnejad – grieved and saddened me.
