Mohsen Hashemi focused on the differences in the writing and content of the late Hashemi's memoirs from the year 2001 compared to his earlier memoirs. He discussed the extent of censorship and how it was applied for publication, specifically pointing to certain restrictions since the formation of the thirteenth government, which were not present during Rouhani's administration.

A roundtable for the unveiling and discussion of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani's daily writings from 2001, titled "Excess in Disagreement," was held on Tuesday, May 7, at the Shargh newspaper's venue. Attendees included Hossein Alayi, Seyyed Reza Salehi Amiri, Mohsen Hashemi Rafsanjani, and Mohammad Atrianfar, each discussing and analyzing the book and the personality of the late Hashemi Rafsanjani from their perspectives.

According to Shargh News Network, at the beginning of the meeting, Mohsen Hashemi emphasized that in his memoirs, the late Hashemi increasingly focused on important topics year by year instead of wandering off into unrelated details. He also addressed the extent of censorship in the memoirs and how it was implemented for publication, specifically noting restrictions that have emerged since the current government took office, which did not exist during Rouhani's term. Mohsen Hashemi mentioned that some of this censorship was due to security issues, while others were politically motivated.

Brigadier General Hossein Alayi concentrated on the late Hashemi Rafsanjani's role in guiding the country through the dangerous circumstances following September 11 and in countering the designation of Iran as part of the "Axis of Evil." He noted that this topic was not extensively addressed in the late Hashemi's memoirs, and his role was not clearly articulated in news reports, especially since Hashemi did not hold an executive position during that period. Alayi also referred to the disagreements between military commanders and Khatami’s second government in the early 2000s, stating that the late Hashemi Rafsanjani often acted as a mediator and consistently sought interaction among all political factions and even within the military establishment.

Seyyed Reza Salehi Amiri approached the discussion from a broader perspective, outlining the late Hashemi's character as a person with a discourse and potential for leadership. He continued by highlighting several prominent characteristics of the late Hashemi Rafsanjani and discussed his focus on nurturing elite talent and future-oriented thinking.

Mohammad Atrianfar provided a historical overview of the ups and downs of the late Hashemi's life and his role before and during the revolution, as well as after it, emphasizing that Hashemi Rafsanjani played a key role as a close associate of Imam Khomeini in the foundation of the revolution.
