In a letter to Sadegh Larijani;
Motahari: The question of parliament election law should be included in the agenda of the recognition assembly
Dear Mr. Sadegh Larijani, may you be blessed
Honorable President of the Expediency Discernment Council
Greetings, you may be aware that after the disqualification of the elected people of Isfahan in the elections of the 10th parliament, at the beginning of this parliament, an inquiry regarding Note 4 of Article 52 of the Election Law of the Islamic Council was approved by the parliament, stating that after confirming the initial qualification and vote Folks, the Guardian Council cannot disqualify the people’s elected representatives, but according to Article 30 of the Parliament’s Internal Regulations Law, new documents and documents must be sent to the Parliament to be considered in the review of the credentials, and if that person is to be removed, this should be done out of respect for the people’s vote. It should be done by the parliament, which represents the people, rather than the Guardian Council removing him directly after the people’s vote.
The Guardian Council opposed this resolution of the parliament and the parliament insisted on its opinion, so this resolution was sent to the Expediency Council on March 25, 2015. It is strange that until today, consideration of this resolution has not been included in the agenda of the assembly. I followed up on the issue through the secretariat of the assembly, they replied that because it was not included in the agenda of the assembly until one year after receiving it, according to the regulations of the assembly, the opinion of the Guardian Council prevails.
Of course, the history of this matter goes back to before your Excellency’s presidency, but this question is raised for me and other members of the parliament and the people, why this resolution has not been included in the agenda of the assembly for a year. If it had been placed in the order and its task had been clarified, today there would not be any confusion and debate on the subject of the academic degree selected by the 11th Parliament from the field of Tafarsh, whether the task should be determined in the review of credentials in the 11th Parliament or the Guardian Council can directly elect it. invalidate the field.
Secondly, basically, is this article of the Assembly’s regulations fair and wise that if the disputed issue between the Assembly and the Guardian Council is not included in the agenda of the Assembly for a year, the opinion of the Guardian Council is the ruling one? Isn’t there a possibility that the secretariat of the assembly, when it disagrees with a resolution of the parliament, does not put it on the agenda for a year, so that the Guardian Council’s opinion prevails?
I wrote this letter openly so that our people know that if it is sometimes said that the parliament is inefficient, some of the factors of inefficiency are related to outside the parliament.
In any case, I request you to order this matter to be placed on the agenda of the assembly and if there is a need to amend the bylaws, appropriate action should be taken. Thank you in advance for your kind attention.
with respect
Ali Motahari
