Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – February 26, 1985

In my office, I started to do backlogged work. We did not have any important news in the reports. The public session of the Majlis passed on the proposals of note two; It takes a long time. In the afternoon, Iran's ambassadors and diplomats in African and Arab countries - who are having a seminar - came. I spoke for them in detail. Mr. [Mohsen] Rafiq Dost also came. He asked for help for the work of the front. I stressed about taking communication devices and other things and aid works from Syria.

In the evening, a group of students who publish the magazine "Houze" came. They asked for help to strengthen the students of the Imam's line and announced the completion of the first stage of writing "Ma'jam Bihar al-Anwar". [Mr. Mulla Qadir Qadiri] The imam of Juma Paveh came; expressed loyalty to the revolution. It has been with him since the beginning [of the victory of the revolution]. Recently, in relation to a group of fanatical Sunnis who [formed a group and] hit the mountain, he did not condemn them explicitly, he was criticized by some officials.

The [Supreme] Council of the Cultural Revolution had a meeting. There was a discussion about the compilation of university textbooks. It was decided to establish a department for writing human sciences books. After the meeting, there was a discussion about the quality of movement of the [Islamic Republic] party after the order of the imam regarding the party imams. The possibility of dissolving the party was raised. It was decided to be discussed in the [Party] Central Council meeting. I spoke on the phone with Ayatollah Montazeri's office about the meeting tomorrow night.
