Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – May 21, 1986

In the parliament, we had a meeting with the representatives of Tehran and the ministers of guidance, housing, health, justice and the municipality and governorate of Tehran regarding the review of the plan to reform Jamshid neighborhood and transfer corrupt women to another place for reform and education. We did not reach a clear result, and the proposal to establish camps and legalize temporary marriages with these deviant women and their gradual assimilation into permanent families was not accepted.

Then we negotiated with [Mr. Mohammad Nabi Habibi] the mayor of [Tehran], [Mr. Sirajuddin Kazrouni] the Minister of Housing and [Mr. Mohammad Asghari] the Minister of Justice, about determining the assignment of illegal half-finished buildings. It was decided to speed up the approval of the bill that is being discussed in the parliament.

Mr. [Asadullah] Badamchian [Tehran representative] came to my office. He was worried about the threat made regarding the party explosion case to counter the Prime Minister's case. He suggested changing the government and bringing in a new government that is in favor of handing things over to the people to solve the economic problems, which I said is not practical. It is better that they cooperate with the existing government and this program is carried out by the same government. Mr. Maulvi came. He worked on Sunni scholars and Muftizadeh.

In the evening, the government board had a meeting. We had Iftar with the government delegation, the guest of the president. At night, the leaders had a meeting. It was suggested that we invite a heart doctor from abroad for the imam and gradually announce the news of the imam's heart failure.

It was decided that the Ministry of Culture will buy Imam's house in Khomein. Imam's relatives want to sell their shares. The imam has nothing from there at the moment. Mr. Rezaei said that the enemy fled from Feke area and left behind a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
