Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – April 23, 1984

We had a public meeting in the parliament. After breathing, I came to the office. Mr. [Syed Abolfazl] Razavi Ardakani explained the election of Ardakan Shiraz; The claimant is cheating on the part of the competitor and he acquitted himself of the incidents there. Mr. [Rasul] Mutjabnia [representative of Shush and Andimeshk] also came and talked about the situation of Khomein and the oppression of Hezbollah forces. Mr. [Ali] Agha Mohammadi [Hamadan representative] also came and is worried about failure in the second stage; It is alleged that elements of the IRGC intelligence are spraying against him. This is the general problem of those who feel oppressed; I can't help; Because I don't want to interfere in other fields.

In the evening, Mr. [Asadullah] Badamchian came and complained mostly about the violations of the faction against them and the one-sided working of the press; I recommended compromise and non-disagreement.

Two or three people from Evin [prison] investigators came. In order to prosecute the Prime Minister's case, they suggested arresting some famous officials. They have already asked Imam for permission. Imam has referred it to [Ayatollah Sheikh Yusuf Saneyi], the Attorney General of the country; I pointed out the possible losses. Mr. Farshad Momeni came. He complained about the one-dimensionalization of the Islamic Republic Party and was worried about the discouragement of the revolutionary forces.

Colonel [Mustafa] Torabi [from the Imam's consulting office in the army] came and reported the semi-successful test of building a missile with a range of about fifty kilometers. I did a [television] interview on the occasion of Labor Day; I stayed the night in the parliament and did the backlog. I watched Sarbadaran series on TV.
