Today was the anniversary of the shooting of Gholamreza Nikpey

Gholamreza Nikpi worked as the mayor of Tehran for eight years from 1969 to 1977.

He was also an appointed senator, Minister of Development and Housing, and Deputy Prime Minister.

One of the main accusations of Nikpai has been traffic in Tehran.

In court, they say to him: "As a doctor in economics from London, why didn't you warn the people that the cause of the traffic problem is not the people, and why didn't you blame the colonialists?"

"There are three parts to the problem," Nickpay replies. There are many buses.

"This is the way of the bourgeoisie," says the chief. In another meeting, the discussion of traffic is raised and the head of the court says: "The explosion of traffic has troubled the people, nervous disorders and deaths are all due to the heavy traffic, and you were responsible for the traffic."

Nikpi answers: "The traffic responsibility was with the city police and the last year with the capital city municipality, and I accepted because I wanted to serve the people."

But the chief says: "It was not a service, you killed the people!" In Tehran traffic, your general policy has been to secure the interests of colonialism.

In response, Nikpi says: "For Tehran's traffic, I wanted two more years until the first metro line is opened and these highways are connected to each other and the rest of the planned bridges are built." I don't know what else he made of me. "International experts know traffic improvement in improving bus services, building bridges, creating parking lots, and building highways."
