It has been recalled on the night of Ashura in the French city of Nofel Loshato, after the prayers were over, Imam said: "Is there anyone to speak out about sufferings of Karbala?"
Everyone was watching until the preacher started mentioning the sufferings and calamity, Imam took out his handkerchiefs and started shedding tears.
This conduct of Imam Khomeini taught us that remembering Ashura and revival of Sunnah of the holy prophet in the most acute political and social circumstances should not be forgotten.
