To Mr. Khatami, the popularly elected president of the Iranian nation
Mr. President, without doubt your election was the result of a stifled and repressed nation
under immense pressure crying out for change choosing you to:
 | Establish a civil society - one of your particular slogans - and create an open
political environment where there is freedom for political parties to form and operate |
| End the chaos, and disorder and the seditious activities of certain groups in the
country and create a stable and ordered society. |
| Clearly and openly report the results of your government’s actions and policies to
the nation and inform them of the true nature of events. |
Yesterday your Mayor and member of your government and today your chosen Interior
Minister have been dragged through the courts and sacked by a certain group calling
themselves the nation’s representatives. The question is which nation do they
represent. Are they chosen by the same nation who elected you? Without a doubt, this
question can be put to the people themselves.
Do not forget the famous saying that ‘the parliament is where the people are’.
If the parliament is not the nation’s home, it is not a parliament and has no
legitimacy. You must make your position clear before the President becomes the third
deposed person. You must either resign or put the issues to the nation.
Dr Hossein Ladjevardi
President, ACI. |
