Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 18, 1985

I stayed in the public meeting until ten o'clock in the morning. I went to Shahid Motahari School to participate in the Congress of the Islamic Republican Party. Ayatollah Khamenei spoke and reported and criticized the losses of the difference between the two currents in the party, which led to the extinguishing of the party's light. I went to the assembly at noon. I returned to the Congress at half past three. I presented an analysis of the history of the party, its ups and downs, ups and downs, and the reasons for the Imam's opposition, and I emphasized the necessity of the party's comprehensiveness to all currents of the Imam's line and the need to avoid division and multiplicity of parties in the Imam's line.

In order to prevent the party from becoming one-dimensional, I suggested that the former Central Council remain the same. If there were an election, a stream of votes would come; Because Mr. Mousavi and his associates did not participate in the congress. At night, we had a meeting with the president and Sayad in my office. They gave the report of Qadir's operation in Sidkan area and it was decided to get help from the IRGC to continue the operation.
