NCRI President Message for the
Formation of "National Solidarity Front" to Overthrow Religious
Dictatorship Ruling Iran
At a time when our resistance against the clerical regime is
escalating, I would like to express my gratitude for the spontaneous
wave of solidarity demonstrated by our fellow compatriots in which they
reiterated the legitimacy of the resistance waged to overthrow the
religious dictatorship and exposed the scheme by the clerical regime
and its international collaborators to label the People's Mojahedin
Organization as terrorist.
I wish to recall the National Council of Resistance’s commitment to
"the establishment of national sovereignty" through "a legitimate
nationwide resistance," in Iran. This commitment, the primary objective
stipulated in the program of the provisional program of the National
Council of Resistance of Iran is in diametric contrast to the mullahs’
rejection of "popular vote and democratic rights of the people from all
walks of life, including minorities and nationalities."
I wish to reiterate the need and urgency to abolish religious
discrimination, a pillar of religious dictatorship ruling Iran. At the
same time, I would like to recall the plan of the National Council of
Resistance of Iran for the separation of Church and State ratified on
1985. The plan stipulates that "no citizen will enjoy any privilege or
be subject to any discrimination based on belief or lack there of in a
religion for being elected, to elect, employment, education, judgment
or any other individual or social rights.”
The Iranian Resistance’s President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi described
national solidarity as the “manifestation of steadfastness and
conviction of all sectors of the great nation of Iran to liberate
themselves from mullahs’ cruelty.” She reiterated that this solidarity
is "a reflection of the most profound democratic yearnings of the
people of Iran, regardless of ideology, belief, religion and ethnicity,
and transcends all partisan and political interests." She said the
Front "embodies the unshakable resolve of the Iranian people to
overthrow the mullahs' inhuman regime.
(July 20, 1994).
Mrs. Rajavi offered her congratulations to Iranians for their show of
solidarity during the major demonstrations on June 20. She said: “You
comprise this front, every one of you. My fellow Iranians, every single
woman, man, youngster, intellectual, author, poet, artist and athlete
or members of groups who have rejected the Shah’s and mullahs’
dictatorships and seek the overthrow of religious dictatorship and
establishment of freedom and national sovereignty in our enchained
country are part of this front.”
In response to requests, suggestions and questions posed by those who
are yearning for liberation of our country in reference to ways to
enforce and expand national solidarity, I would like to point out the
following:
1. The issue was reviewed and discussed from various
aspects in the recent session of National Council of Resistance of
Iran. The Council appreciated Mrs. Rajavi’s broad- minded political
approach and sense of national responsibility and pursuing this issue
2. There are political forces and groups that wish to
cooperate in the struggle (against the clerical regime) but, unlike
members or supporters of the NCRI or its member organizations, are not
inclined to, or cannot abide, for whatever reason, by NCRI and the
Provisional Government’s plans or other ratifications. To bring about
unity among these forces and groups, the National Council of Resistance
of Iran ratified the plan for the creation of National Solidarity Front
to Overthrow the Religious Dictatorship and presented it to all
freedom- seeking and independent political forces and groups. This
proposition is a test for our capacity for solidarity, our resolve to
cooperate and our capability to coordinate among us.
3. With the hope of success for all of political forces
that oppose the clerical regime who would join in this endeavour for
national solidarity, I would offer the plan that was ratified by the
Council:
Plan of National Solidarity Front to Overthrow Religious Dictatorship Ruling Iran
- National Council of Resistance of Iran, while reiterating the
commitment of its members to the Council’s program, the program for the
provisional government and the Council’s plans, ratifications and
political structure of the Council, announces the plan of National
Solidarity Front to overthrow Religious Dictatorship Ruling Iran and is
prepared for cooperation with other political forces.
- The Front will encompass all Iranians and republicans, who abide by
complete rejection of the velayat-e-faqih regime and all of its
factions, and are campaigning for a democratic, independent and secular
regime. The National Solidarity Front considers advocacy for the
clerical rule or any of its factions and any contact or negotiation
with it, as the red line in the struggle for freedom and against the
clerical rule which no one should breach. This is the benchmark to
distinguish friend and foe and the common ground for all individuals or
political groups who want to have mutual relations.
-
Those who nominate themselves for membership in the Front, should
declare their allegiance to Item 2 of this plan. The first session of
the Front would discuss all aspects of the front, including the review
and approval of membership, drafting and approving the necessary
by-laws and the internal elections of the Front.
Note: The NCRI Secretariat will be in charge of preparations for the first gathering of the Front.
The above plan with three items and an amendment was approved by National Council of Resistance of Iran on November 4, 2002.
