Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – September 4, 1988

I went to the public meeting at half past seven. The first meeting was after the summer vacation and sending the representatives to the front. I spoke briefly before the order. We had several resolutions. The mood of the parliament is very political due to the possibility of political and economic developments. There are a lot of referrals. The representatives of Mazandaran province came to my office. They object to the election of Mr. Morteza Ghorbani as the commander of the Mazandaran Army; They do not recommend a specific person.

In the afternoon, the board of parliament had a meeting in my office. The problem of not evacuating the houses of some former representatives and the pressure of the new representatives to get houses was discussed. It was decided to evacuate. Mr. [Mohsen] Rafiq Dost [Minister of the Corps] came. He is worried about the vote of the parliament about himself.

In the evening, Dr. Jasbi came for Islamic Azad University affairs. proposed the establishment of non-governmental secondary schools by the university; It was supposed to be checked. He also proposed to increase tuition fees. Mr. [Syed Mohammad] Kiavash [former representative of Ahvaz] came. He brought the report of the fronts and asked about the future of his work. Taekwondo sports team came. Their heroes are going to [Seoul, the capital] of South Korea to participate in the Olympics. They reported their work and asked for help to develop their work.

A group of members of the Central Council of the Office of Tahakim Vahdat came and expressed their concern about the possible developments in the country. They think that these actions are against the direction of their slogans and they are worried about their future. They said the press was told not to broadcast their announcements. While giving an explanation of the current situation, I warned them against opposing the Imam's decisions.

Mr. [Mohammed Javad] Larijani came. He is going to European countries. Consulted on the issues to be raised and on the Geneva negotiations. I told him that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should investigate Iraq's complaint to the United Nations for its atrocities against the Iraqi Kurds. Apparently, the Kurds are looking for a government to present their complaint.

I came home We disagreed with Fati about the number of chemically injured Kurds in the Iraqi bombing. He claimed that it was said in the news that there were 100,000 chemically injured people, but they said 100,000 were refugees.
