Of course, we will fight against the March 19 coup using every legitimate means.
However, even for this coup, I cannot bring myself to accept insults being showered upon our mothers, whom I hold as sacred as bread, water, and air...
"I am facing one of the greatest injustices our political history has ever seen. Of course, we will fight against the March 19 coup using every legitimate means. However, even for this coup, I cannot bring myself to accept insults being showered upon our mothers, whom I hold as sacred as bread, water, and air. I condemn the insults directed at the President's mother with all my heart and to the fullest extent. On this occasion, I once again wish her mercy from the Almighty Creator. I also invite the prosecutor's office to take action regarding those who take advantage of our being in prison to make immoral posts about my mother, my wife, and my family. Those who open investigations at lightning speed on every matter ex officio look for a place to hide when it comes to our family. When we come to power, we will not do to you what you have done to us. Justice will be the guarantee for everyone, the law will ensure the life and property security of everyone, and no one will be able to lay a hand on anyone else's property, honor, dignity, or integrity."
