On the sidelines of the annual commemoration ceremony of the founding Leader of the Islamic Republic in 2004, Ayatollah Khamenei, upon seeing the lamentation and chest-beating for Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, says to Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani:
He does not agree with these behaviors, and fundamentally chest-beating should not be done for anyone other than Imam Hussein, not even for Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra and the other Imams, and he criticized the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) for promoting these behaviors.
Akbar Hashemi says to him, "The one who is under your direct command, why don't you stop him?"
Ayatollah replied: He has told Mr. Larijani many times and he has not acted! And recently he has also told Mr. Zarghami.
