Qom opened the way and initiated the movement…
Qom opened the way and initiated the movement. Qom answered the call of the magnanimous Imam [Khomeini]. Who else could understand what Imam Khomeini was saying in 1962 and 1963? It was the people of Qom who entered the scene. Even when they felt that [the movement] had weakened a bit in 1962 after the movement had started, the people of Qom rose up and attended Imam Khomeini’s lessons. I was there. I remember this.
