Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – January 31, 1990

A few veterans came and raised their needs; I told my office to provide. Mr. Ahmad Tavakoli came. He talked about the disadvantages of the new labor law and demanded employment in the presidential offices. Mr. Mohsen Rezaei [commander-in-chief of the army] came. They talked about the positioning of the fronts and the need to complete the Muharram plan and protect more of Khark.

[Mr. Lars Marks] Ambassador of Zelandeno came to present the letter. We talked about the conditions of his country. Mr. [Abdullah Imam] Bukhari, the Imam of the New Delhi Mosque, came. He spoke about the situation of the Muslims in India and the pressure of the Hindus on the people of Kashmir and asked for the support and strengthening of the new Prime Minister of India, on the condition that the issue of Kashmir and Babri Masjid is resolved. He said that due to the small number of members of the Janata Party in the Congress, they had to form alliances with fascist groups that are against Muslims. I asked about the political solution to save him from the pressure of these groups; There is no way for him, because he is not good with the Congress party either.

Efat was also in the office, we had lunch together. Mohsen and Mehdi also came. In the evening, the government board had a meeting. The discussion was in the budget notes. Today we named planning day. In the evening, I gave an interview about the program and the naming of 11 Bahman.
