3 branches of govt. should maintain unity for major decisions: Leader
TEHRAN, Apr. 6 (MNA) -- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the heads of the three branches of the government should maintain unity when making major decisions.
“The three branches should be careful that unity is maintained for major decisions,” he said in a meeting with a number of high-ranking officials here on Monday.
But unity does not mean the rejection of diversity of ideas and views, the Supreme Leader stated.
“However, these differences of opinion should not hinder the progress of the country,” he noted.
Ayatollah Khamenei added that the implementation of the Fifth Development Plan (2010-2015) requires close coordination of the relevant bodies.
Of course, the administration is at the center of administrative affairs and the other branches of the government should help the administration discharge its duties, he said.
The Leader also commented on the 20-Year Outlook Plan (2005-2025), saying that in some areas, the expectations of the plan have not been achieved and everyone must redouble their efforts in those areas.
However, in other areas the achievements have exceeded expectations, he stated.
Ayatollah Khamenei also expressed hope that the administration and the Majlis would reach an agreement on the implementation of the subsidy reform plan so that the people see the outcome of officials’ efforts.
There has been a hot dispute between the administration and the Majlis over the implementation of the subsidy reform plan.
In a televised speech on March 19, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the implementation of the plan, based on the ratification of the Majlis, would be detrimental to the nation.
The Ahmadinejad administration has insisted that they need $40 billion from subsidy cuts savings to implement the plan, but the Majlis only approved $20 billion.
The president suggested holding a referendum on a reform to the subsidy system that would save $40 billion and stated that his government would not implement the plan if the Majlis did not agree to the request.
However, on Sunday MP Qolamreza Mesbahi-Moqaddam of the Majlis Economic Committee said delaying the implementation of the plan would not be logical.
