Shajarian: Do not lie that I have not allowed 'Rabana' to be broadcast

"My world is Iran" is the title of Mohammad Reza Shajarian's interview with the Iran newspaper. This prominent figure in music, who is undergoing treatment abroad, told Iran newspaper: "'Rabana' does not belong to me. It belongs to the people. It is part of the life and emotions of the people, and no one has the right to take it away from them. I, who own this work and actually created it, say it belongs to the people. I have never deprived the people of 'Rabana.' Now, if it is a matter of policy that my voice should not be broadcast in any way, they know themselves, but do not lie that I have not allowed 'Rabana' to be broadcast." Mohammad Reza Shajarian also implicitly referred to his protest against the former president, saying: "You assume that in any regime, for example, in the Islamic Republic that everyone accepted, a person comes and makes a mistake. We remind him. This reminder does not mean that we oppose the republic. This person made a mistake, and we remind him. Or when we tell someone that you do not have the right to insult the people, this does not mean opposing the whole regime." However, "some want to take advantage of the situation, claiming that because this person told the minister or president that he made a mistake, this person opposes the republic, which is oppression." Shahrokh Toiserkani and Hamid Reza Nourbakhsh wrote in the introduction of the interview with this prominent music figure: "Mohammad Reza Shajarian, as he says, is responsible but not political. He is committed but does not engage in political work. He accepts sorrow but not defeat, makes public protests but not anger. He knows well that in the world of politics, due to its historical nature, there is nothing stable and reliable, but responsibility and commitment to human dignity are eternal and everlasting matters." Mohammad Reza Shajarian told Iran newspaper: "I sing for the hearts of my people" and "if my listener is happy, I am happy too, and I present joyful music. If they are sad, I produce work according to their mood. I do social work; I do not do political work. My work is social, and I speak of the pain of society. Sometimes we need to remind society and say you are making a mistake. And sometimes the government makes mistakes regarding the people; we say do not make mistakes, and the people want something else. This is a reminder. Like a cleric who gives a reminder from the pulpit, telling the people not to do this, this is not political. But if we gather people together and form a party; when you recruit supporters and want to reach power and implement an ideology, that becomes political work. I have neither recruited supporters nor held conferences for anyone to do something. If I had done these things, it would have been political. What I do is for people who live with whatever beliefs they have." The newspaper Etemad published a photo of Hassan Rouhani and Ali Larijani, the heads of the executive and legislative branches, on its front page and quoted Ali Larijani as saying: "They ask; is Rouhani a one-term president? I say: No." According to this newspaper, in an interview with the weekly Mosafer, close to the conservatives, "he does not hesitate to talk about the need to repair the cabinet. Although he does this cautiously, he ultimately states: some representatives believe that there should be more cohesion in the cabinet regarding economic issues. They should move more vigorously on economic matters. Some also have opinions on other issues. We need to talk to them to reach a common conclusion." Etemad quoted Ali Larijani as saying: "Mr. Rouhani is overall moving in the right direction" and "when asked if some think it is likely that Mr. Rouhani will be a one-term president, I say no, I do not think so." This newspaper described the remarks of the Speaker of the Parliament as a sign of "support for the eleventh government" and noted that Ali Larijani "believes the government should act with more courage and speed in the implementation of the JCPOA and in overcoming economic stagnation." In this conversation, the Speaker of the Parliament supported the nuclear agreement and the JCPOA, referring to "holding 10 nuclear sessions with the presence of the Supreme Leader and 25 sessions of the nuclear council" and stated: "Sometimes I heard that it was said that no one reviews the discussions of the negotiating team" but "these statements were false." Because "we had cases where they went down a path, and we discussed in the nuclear council that this path is wrong and should be completely changed; based on this, they would change the negotiation path, and this change of path would take two months, so it was not the case that the discussions were loose and unrestrained." The Speaker of the tenth Parliament even said: "Now the number of centrifuges is not important. What matters is that they accepted Iran to have enrichment with 6,000 centrifuges. Some think that if our number of centrifuges were 20,000 now, we would be doing something extraordinary; no, that is not the case. Because we had other constraints that we accepted." Mojtaba Hosseini, a reporter for the Etemad newspaper, in a report about potential rivals of Hassan Rouhani in the 2016 presidential election, wrote: "Right-wing faction managers have rolled up their sleeves a year before the June 2016 presidential election and are already thinking about ending the dominance of moderation in Iranian politics." Newspapers close to conservatives, including Resalat, Vatan-e-Emruz, Kayhan, Javan, Khorasan, Jam-e-Jam, Siyasat-e-Rooz, and Hemayat, have focused on the remarks of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic in a meeting with the President and representatives of the tenth Parliament on their front pages. Among these, Kayhan, Resalat, Vatan-e-Emruz, and Javan have highlighted part of Ali Khamenei's remarks about "the problem of recession and employment" and written: "The problem of recession and employment must be solved; mere talk is not beneficial." These three newspapers also quoted him as saying: "My shame and that of the system regarding the unemployment of a young person is no less than that of the young person himself." The newspapers Khorasan, Jam-e-Jam, Siyasat-e-Rooz, and Hemayat, however, referred to the "indicators of revolutionary spirit" as quoted by the Supreme Leader and emphasized that "the parliament must act revolutionarily both in legislation and in its positions." The Hemayat newspaper, affiliated with the prison organization, quoted Ali Khamenei as saying: "There is a kind of laxity in the cultural sphere." The Ebtikar newspaper reported on the proposal to "change the name of the Women and Family faction to the Women and Family Affairs faction in the tenth Parliament" and wrote that this proposal was made by Shahindokht Molaverdi, the assistant for women's and family affairs of the presidency, so that "male representatives can also become members of this faction." This newspaper described Shahindokht Molaverdi's proposal as a decision by the "government of hope and prudence" to interact with the tenth Parliament to breathe new life into the "lifeless body of the aimless programs" of previous periods and wrote: "Political experts believe that the proposal for men's participation in the women's faction will further strengthen this faction and create the ground for fulfilling the demands of women in society." The Ebtikar newspaper, however, emphasized that so far "the female representatives of this Parliament have not welcomed this proposal, but in general, the continuation of this faction's activities with the presence of male representatives or its transformation into a women's commission, which itself requires a legal process, is a matter that has been raised in this Parliament and indicates the planning of the hope Parliament to seriously pursue the rights of women in the country." At the same time, the Arman newspaper, while publishing a report about the number of representatives volunteering for membership in various commissions, wrote: among the commissions of the Parliament, "national security is the busiest, while culture is the quietest". This newspaper has also published the names of representatives volunteering for membership in the commissions and written: "The highest number of applicants for the commissions of national security and foreign policy is 38 applicants, for the commissions of industries and mines is 32 applicants, and for the commissions of planning and budget is 31 applicants, while the least applicants for the commissions of councils and judiciary are each three applicants and for culture is four applicants." The 90th Article Commission of the Parliament also has seven volunteers, including "Davood Mohammadi, Yahya Kamali Pour, Vali Dadashi, Hassan Nourouzi, Hossein Rezazadeh, Mohammad Ali Pourmokhtar, and Mohammad Kazemi." The Javan newspaper also pointed out that "the fate of the political commissions of the Islamic Consultative Assembly must be clarified this week," and wrote: "In the newly formed Parliament, which has only a few days since its inception, only four people want to be present in the cultural commission, and those who will be added are likely to be individuals whose heart's desire has been to be in another place." This newspaper, close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also wrote: "On the day of the Supreme Leader's warning about cultural laxity, representatives showed their indifference" because "cultural indifference means that only four people become candidates for the cultural commission." "Villa construction in the forbidden plain" is the title of a report in the Shahrvand newspaper about the construction of villas worth hundreds of millions to billions in some villages around Lake Urmia and wrote: "The Imamzadeh neighborhood is a forbidden plain; no well should be dug there because it is part of the water table of Lake Urmia. On the other hand, it causes social and livelihood damages to the locals because water resources are a limited table." Shadi Khushkar in this newspaper's report wrote: "Some opportunistic individuals who are not farmers have encroached on agricultural lands and, by purchasing orchards and farmlands and fragmenting them, have engaged in villa construction" and "by enclosing agricultural lands within four walls, they are mushrooming and digging illegal wells in this area." The Shahrvand newspaper also quoted Eisa Kalantari, the secretary of the Lake Urmia Revival Headquarters, as saying: "Illegal villas in the watershed of Lake Urmia must be demolished without consideration." Hadi Sadeghi, the legal deputy of the judiciary, in an interview with the Shargh newspaper emphasized that "we have contracted legal AIDS," saying: "To explain legal AIDS, I must say that the wave of new media is entering the country at a high speed while legal scholars are lagging behind in establishing laws related to it and applying these laws. This causes the legal work, which should ensure the security of society and maintain order and security, to not be properly realized, and the law lags behind; the result of this lag is that waves come and inflict their damage." The deputy of the judiciary also pointed out the inefficacy of the law regarding "situations where criminal instances exist in billions" and told the reporter of the Shargh newspaper: "You, who are sitting here and all individuals who have smartphones, if you open your phones right now, criminal instances exist in them, almost without exception, these instances are unintentionally present in everyone's phones, and I do not exclude myself; because unintentionally these instances come. Just visiting a channel is enough, and if you have not turned off automatic downloads, these instances will automatically be saved in your phone, even if you have not looked at them; however, the film or that criminal instance exists in your phone." The Vaghaye Ettefaghieh newspaper has written on its front page: "Finally, political crime will be implemented after 100 years" with the issuance of Hassan Rouhani, a law that "emphasizes that detention and solitary confinement for political criminals is prohibited." The Hamdeli newspaper has emphasized on its front page that "opponents are busy forging," writing: "On Sunday, some media claiming to be conservative published a letter they claimed was confidential, allegedly sent by Federica Mogherini and the foreign ministers of the 1+5 countries to Mohammad Javad Zarif" and "details of this letter emerged in the news circles while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied sending such a letter." The changing of the game for the "proxies"; war against the people in the streets of Iran.
