The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei urged members of the Iranian parliament to try to fulfill their heavy responsibilities before the Almightly.

In a message read to the first session of the new parliament opened on Sunday morning, he urged representatives of the 9th parliament not to think of their own personal interests when carrying out their duty in the parliament which is to make laws, according to state-run news agency.

The Supreme Leader added that the inauguration of the 9th Majlis in Iran sends a strong message from the Iranian nation to the contemporary world as it proves the firm will of a nation to overcome huge amounts of animosity exercised against it just because it wants to build a unique system based on the Islamic Revolution, IRNA said.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said the Iranian people have given life to the notion of Islamic democracy not through words but in practice.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei urged the MPs to abide by the laws and said that in a decade which is dedicated to progress and justice all regulations ratified by the Majlis should lead to promotion of these two values.
