Leading articles
MELLAT-E MA in a news report quotes MP Gholamreza Mesbahi Moqaddam as saying that all principlists have unanimously decided to act independently from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in their activities in the upcoming parliamentary elections. Ahmadinejad is no longer regarded as a central figure in fostering unity among the principlists in the run-up to the parliamentary elections and will not be involved in the activities of the principlists as a principlist, added Mesbahi Moqaddam, a member of the Association of Combatant Clerics. The report also said that the stories about the resignation of Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi and the merger of the ministries have cast doubts on the president’s central role in promoting unity among the principlists. In addition, MP Mohammad-Reza Bahonar has said that if the coalition of the principlists dissociates itself from the deviant current, it will not pose any threat to unity.
SHARQ newspaper in a news report says Majlis speaker Ali Larijani and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are scheduled to hold a phone conversation on the merger of the ministries. Hossein Sobhaninia, a member of the Majlis presiding board, said that according to the presiding board, the conversation will focus most on cancelling the plan to merge the ministries. In addition, Vice-President Fatemeh Bodaghi said that drawing out the process of merging the ministries is not in the interests of the administration and the Majlis. She said that the government respects the law and obey it, and it is not possible in the Islamic system that a government flouts the law.
