\n

\u201cThe fundamental principle of \u2018No to Shah<\/a>, No to Mullahs\u2019 means rejecting all forms of dictatorship and dependence. It is the only national and patriotic policy for Iran and the Iranian people, as well as for the nationalities suffering from double oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cThe Liberation Army is the only path to freedom. Workers, arm yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cConfronting and fighting this regime is the task of the Iranian people, rebellious youth, rebellious cities, and the National Liberation Army.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cKhomeini hijacked the anti-monarchical revolution, and the Shah\u2019s son has set his sights on hijacking the democratic revolution and the mighty river of the blood of its martyrs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cReligious dictatorship, like monarchical dictatorship, will be consigned to the grave by the people\u2019s uprising.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cThe idol of Khomeini had to be shattered completely, and everyone knows that breaking an idol who himself bore the title of idol-breaker is far more difficult than breaking the Shah\u2019s idol.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cThis is not a newly emerged or nouveau riche resistance. It is the standard-bearer of the people\u2019s front against the anti-people\u2019s front and against the Shah and the mullah.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2. Messages and Positions of Maryam Rajavi<\/h4>\n

\n

\u201cThe Velayat-e Faqih regime can and must be overthrown.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cThe answer to the Iran question is the overthrow of the entirety of the religious dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
