Ceremony in India Commemorates Imam Khomeini

IQNA – The passing anniversary of Imam Khomeini (RA) was marked in a ceremony held in Mumbai, India.

The program, titled ‘Remembering the Late Imam,” commemorated the 37th anniversary of the demise of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The speakers emphasized that Imam Khomeini's (RA) thoughts and teachings continue to inspire millions of people around the world to protect human dignity, confront oppression and injustice, and adhere to moral and spiritual values.

Ayatollah Ruhollah Moussavi Khomeini, better known as Imam Khomeini, engineered Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran.

Born in 1902, he grew to become the iconic leader of the Iranian nation’s struggle in the 1970s against the centuries-old monarchical tyranny.

Imam Khomeini passed away on June 3, 1989, at the age of 87.
