Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has continued his harsh criticism of senior Iranian officials, calling for dismissing those who lack legitimacy whatever their posts are. He also criticized the wave of arrests in the recent protests. "The Iranian people have revolted so that the prison would not be the fate of young people protesting the poor conditions in the country,” Ahmadinejad said. He called on his executive assistant, Hamid Baghaei, to request summoning commanders of the Quds Force to the court "if the charges against him were correct," pointing out that he might be a victim of internal differences in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps. Dolatebahar website, which speaks for Nejad, reported remarks made by the former president on Friday amid his supporters in the city of Rasht, north Iran. In a speech, marking the celebrations of the anniversary of Irans 1979 Islamic Revolution, Ahmadinejad said the judiciary has become “the main pillar of oppression” against the Iranian people and criticized the country’s situation. Ahmadinejad strongly criticized the poor administrative situation and the performance of decision-makers in the Iranian state, giving the poor situation lived by the Iranian people as an example several times. Notably, Ahmadinejad is the most prominent Iranian official who has been chased by the charge of "populism" in recent years, but his group claims to speak for the marginalized classes in the country. “No doubt the revolution has had great, unprecedented and valuable achievements for the Iranian people," Ahmadinejad said at beginning of his speech. "But when comparing the current situation of the country and the objectives of the revolution we find a a big rift, which is a source of concern for all." Ahmadinejad explained that “some believe the revolution is over while others still insist on turning the end of the revolution into a belief among the Iranians.” “Others want to view the revolution as unsuccessful and defeated, and in this way they declare that the revolution is the main cause of the unrest in the country and the reason behind the poor conditions and the decline in the performance of senior officials." Ahmadinejadn said all these signs require a "review of the 1797 revolution," which will complete its fourth decade next year. “The goal of the revolution was not to replace a team with another one while leaving the remaining administrative systems, structure and behavior or conditions worse than before,” he added.
