Once there was a discussion in connection with matters of foreign policy that required some covert diplomatic actions. The Imam was consulted and he stated: “Do not do something by which you cannot be answerable to the people.” A person must be involved in policy implementation to understand the enormity of these words. From the start of the political life of the Imam until the end one could not find any contradiction in the matters that he would state from the past and the future and neither in his covert and overt decisions.
Don’t do something so that you cannot be answerable to the people: Mir Husayn Musawi
