By IRNA

Tehran : President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has just joined large groups of people taking part in the International Qods Day rallies here.

The fasting people taking part in the rallies are chanting such slogans as “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” with clenched fists and expressed support for strong stance of President Ahmadinejad during his recent speech at the UN General Assembly and Columbia University in New York.

The president also chanted slogans against arrogant policies of the occupying regime of Qods and voiced support for the oppressed Palestinian people.

The International Qods Day rallies were initiated by the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini to voice the protest of the Islamic Ummah against Zionists.

Protesters in Tehran are crowding the streets leading to Tehran University campus where the Friday Prayers ceremony will be led by Head of the Assembly of Experts and the Expediency Council Chairman Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani later on.
