Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – January 12, 1994

The assembly of Afghan poets came. Mr. [Hossein] Ebrahimi, [representative of the legal guardian in Afghanistan affairs], gave a report on the work [of the Third Poetry Forum of the Islamic Revolution of Afghanistan]. Two people read poetry; One of them had good poems about criticizing the Mujahideen's behavior after the victory. In my speech, I also severely criticized their performance.

Mr. [Alireza] Derakhshandaro and [Syed Lotfollah] Atabaki, the head and the prosecutor of the Audit Court, came with the head of the Audit Commission of the Parliament. They gave explanations about their work methods and asked for good performance. I advised them to act without publicity and noise, to deal with important matters and not to be unduly strict; I promised to help.

Mr. [Masoud] Karbasian, the head of the Social Security Organization, came. He told about his performance and asked for the establishment of the Supreme Relief Council and also to prevent the increase in medical tariffs. He asked my opinion about adding pensions, and I said that it should be done according to the addition of the government.

In the evening, in the meeting of the government board, I advised the ministers that they and their managers refrain from negative and glorifying statements. [Interior Minister] Mr. [Ali Mohammad] Basharti informed that the shooters in the British and Russian embassies have been arrested; They are a group with similar thoughts.

At eight o'clock in the evening, we flew to Kish with our family and bodyguards. We ate dinner on the way and arrived at ten o'clock at night. Mr. Yazdan Panah [CEO of Kish Azad Region] and the deputies came to welcome him. We visited the pavilion on the sea shore for a while and I listened to the performance report of the Kish Free Zone during the new management period and slept.
