Tehran, YJC. The former Minister of Health has discussed his agenda for administering the country if President at a conference Sunday.
Kamran Bagher Lankarani, the Resistance Front representative
in the presidential elections, gave a speech on Sunday morning
in the
Conference on Political Resistance Breakthrough where, addressing electoral
propaganda by other rivals he asserted "We do not promise to do magic.”
Regarding his reasons for candidacy he said that he has
consulted some university instructors as well as clerics such as Ayatollah
Mesbah, deciding it to be his duty to run for the presidentials.
Lankarani also provided comments on his foreign relations policy
and said "Some use détente as an alibi for bowing down to the West and some
other suggest adventurism. It is interesting that both have arrived at the same
point and talk of negotiations with the US. Imam’s wisdom is in his application
of all potentials, the same ways that the Leader also taught us. Those who
suggest otherwise have not introduced the right way.”
Lankarani stated that one of his main objectives as
President would be the pursuit of equality as a means to the high end of
proximity to God.
As regarding women, he believed that so far those who have
talked of the issue have done so in the manner of Reza Shah, while women’s role
in the society is to be based on religious beliefs.
