The Imam Juma of Rasht is directly appointed by the leader of the Islamic Republic, and the Secretariat of Juma Imams has no role in his appointment or removal

Following the publication of a video of Sheikh Rasool Falahati, the Friday imam of Rasht and the representative of the religious jurist in Gilan province, in which he said: "I am disgusted by all the girls who did not observe the hijab here", many reactions can be seen in the virtual space, even from the movements attributed to fundamentalists. .

Sometimes they requested the dismissal of Sheikh Rasool Fallahati from Sheikh Mohammad Javad Haj Ali Akbari, the head of the Friday Imams Policy Council.

It should be reminded to these dear ones who seem to be unfamiliar with the power structure in the Islamic Republic
Imam Juma's cries and concern were clear about what he was saying, and he said that it was caused by the anxiety caused by the possibility of the release of the video of this meeting, the media atmosphere, and the reprimand and dismissal by Ayatollah Khamenei.

Because he has authority directly from the leader of the Islamic Republic and the Friday imam is the center of the province, which is different from the Friday imams of other cities "except the centers of the provinces". And Sheikh Ali Akbari cannot follow up seriously, and the possibility is almost certain in the current atmosphere, even regarding this behavior and his actions; It will be encouraged.

Therefore, Falahati's type of behavior completely shows the politics of the top of the pyramid of power towards the issue of hijab and chastity, which was reflected objectively in the behavior of Imam Juma of Rasht.

Therefore, the request for the dismissal of Sheikh Rasool Falahati should be sent directly to the Ayatollah's office, which is unlikely to be considered with the above-mentioned contents.

good luck
