ALWAGHT- According to Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Constitutional Revolution in Iran reflected the popular will to establish a religious democracy, highlighting the enduring resolve of the Iranian people against oppression.
During an open session of Parliament marking the anniversary of Iran’s Constitutional Revolution, Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf highlighted the revolution as a pivotal moment in the country’s modern history. He noted that it began with the people's call for justice and the rule of law, leading to the establishment of an elected parliament (Majlis) and the limitation of royal power in the early 20th century.
Qalibaf described the Majlis as a legacy of the revolution and emphasized that the movement, despite facing challenges like foreign intervention, was rooted in the religious and social awareness of the Iranian people. He framed the Constitutional Revolution as more than political change—it was an early effort to create a religious democracy and oppose foreign-backed tyranny.
He further said the revolution planted enduring values of justice, public participation, and adherence to law in the Iranian national spirit. Qalibaf stressed that the Iranian people have consistently rejected tyranny and foreign domination, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to justice and freedom throughout their history.
