In a perspective column HAMSHAHRI says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issued a letter on Saturday which showed he had said goodbye to ministers of oil, industries, and welfare a week earlier (May 8) and this showed the parliamentarians’ letters to the dismissed ministers to remain in their job had been futile. In his letter the president thanked the ministers for their great efforts and sincere services to the country and announced the end of their terms in office. The writer says now the question is why no one had information about the letter and even the ministers themselves did not know that they had been sacked a week earlier. The writer says this is a question which answer to it by government officials can clear up misunderstandings. Of course, the writer say, the president can reshuffle the cabinet and change the ministers whenever required but he asks what is the criterion for making changes to the management system? The writer concludes that in the “Year of Economic Jihad” the country needs managerial stability in order to turn threats into opportunity and not vice versa.
KAYHAN in a news report quotes the Secretary General of the High Council for Human Rights Mohammad-Javad Larijani as saying no Iranian citizen has been arrested or put in jail because of being a member of the Bahai community. The Bahais enjoy citizenship rights in Iran as any other Iranian citizens, but if they commit any crime the Judiciary deals with them like other citizens, Larijani told reporters in South Africa. He said Bahaism is not a religion in Iran but a diversionary sect. The official said based on the Iranian law, publicity in favor of the Bahaism is a crime, but the Bahais enjoy complete freedom in their personal life and nobody opposes them.
