Why do they not reveal themselves?
Mr. Sheikh Ali Tehrani said in an interview that there are some individuals in Parliament who during the time of Tághut[1] called themselves an anti-Baha’ism group and who believed if Imam Khomeini came to Iran, he would establish a communist government! [Tehrani] also said that he has a photocopy of a cheque that the Shah had given to one of the representatives of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. I would ask them as a cleric, if this is true, why do you not reveal their names?
