Tehran, YJC. In their attempts to bring the legislative body in tune with the government, Reformists are trying to adjure the grandson of Imam Khomeini into candidacy for the Majlis.
A number of Reform activists have asked the grandson of Imam
Khomeini, Seyyed Hassan, to run for parliamentary membership, Mosalas Online
reports.
After joining up with generally considered moderate entities
to find a place in the 11th administration, members of the Reform
party are girding their loins for the parliamentary elections as well as those
of the Assembly of Experts.
A number of seasoned Reform activists have recently
petitioned Seyyed Hassan Khomeini to consider signing up for the parliamentary
elections.
Hassan has been busy furthering his Islamic studies in Qom
for a number of years.
The report goes that the Reform figures have even asked
Seyyed Hassan to take the Ijtihad ( the state of being a religious reference)
exam if the Assembly of Experts demands so, in order that there would be no
problem against his candidacy for the assembly membership.
It has to be pointed out that so far no answer has been
given to the requests.
