People are standing in line for bread and oil, children sleep hungry at night, workers' salaries have not been paid for months, but millions of tomans are spent on luxurious tables and free food for the Arbaeen ceremony.
1,500 hot food packages and 2,000 snacks are distributed daily at the Imamzadeh of Seyyed Jamal al-Din Qom; not for the homeless and the deprived in this city, but for pilgrims.
And that in a country where poverty, unemployment, and inflation have reached record levels, and families cannot afford to buy a kilo of meat.
Whose pocket is this amount of money coming from?
The answer is clear: from the budget that should be spent on education, treatment, job creation, and saving people from hunger. The Endowment Department and government institutions are using public money to set a table that is not for the needy, but to demonstrate their religious power and propagate their ideology.
