    He added, "His Eminence martyred, and with this martyrdom concluded a long journey of jihad for Iraq and for the Iraqi people. His Eminence had a prominent role in the movement of national and religious opposition to dictatorial rule, a recognized role in the continuous work for the unity of the opposition's national action."

    President Rashid  said :"We, honorable gentlemen, recall the memory of His Eminence's martyrdom, and the memory of all the martyrs who sacrificed, worked, strived, and struggled for a free and just, federal, democratic Iraq."
     
    Rashid also affirmed added, "The martyrs live among us and in the memory and conscience of the people, while the murderers, tyrants, criminals, and terrorists are destined in the ash heap of history. The greatest thing that we can offer to the righteous martyrs is to continue working for the Iraq that enjoys security and stability, in order to enhance the experience of democratic construction, and in order to consolidate and develop the capabilities and potentials of the state in a manner that serves the aspirations of the people.”
