[Mr. Seyyed Abulfazl Mousavi Tabrizi], the Attorney General of the country came. He talked about the gold backing of banknotes and social issues and demanded the replacement of the governor of East Azarbaijan and the Friday imam of Tabriz. Akhvi Mohammad and Fati ate lunch with me. In the evening, I attended the meeting of the government board. There was a discussion about the elections of the Islamic councils of the city and the village and it was not finished. We decided to amend the law. They announced that they want a leader to come to the meeting of the government board. Later they announced that it was canceled. Later it turned out that the news was not true.

We had a meeting with the leadership at night. Discussions and decisions were made about the central governor, Imam Juma Arak, the headship of the Shahid Foundation, the management of the Supreme Council of Youth, assistance to vulnerable groups, economic policies, propaganda against the People's Front of Azerbaijan and the newspaper attack on Mr. [Abdul Karim] Soroush.
