HAMBASTEGI After the elimination of Saeed Hajjarian and Ataollah Mohajerani, it is now the turn of Mostafa Tajzadeh to be eliminated from the Iranian political arena, Ali Shakouri-Rad said in an interview. Today Tajzadeh is the main target of the attacks against the reformists. The final objective of the opponents of reforms is to eliminate him from the camp of 2nd Khordad.

MPs are determined to write to the Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Shahroudi once again. Talking to the daily, MP Mohammad-Baqer Zakeri said Shahroudi's letter did not convince us. Hossein Allah-Karam said that Khatami's tolerance policies not only did not turn the enemies to opponents, but they changed the peaceful opponents to enemies of the system. Also as a result of the tolerance policy, we observe that decadent Western thoughts are represented in some of the publications in the form of translation.

HAYAT-E NO The Islamic Revolution Mojahedin Organization in a statement said that the unlawful measures are going to become a procedure, while there is only four months left to the presidential elections. The Judiciary must be concerned about law and order, but its recent measures will create disability in the society.

People should vote for the platforms not individuals, the daily said in an opinion column. The reformists must shed light on their own plans. Besides victory in the next presidential elections, they must inform the people about their future plans. What is important is the plan of the reformists after winning the elections. Their post-election plans must not be vague.

A member of the National Security Commission of the Parliament, Kianoush-Rad said that 110 MPs have demanded investigation into the serial murder case. The Parliament will receive the proposal after recession. AFARINESH For the first time in post-Islamic Revolution Iran, the budget bill is sent to the Expediency Council for its arbitration. When the rule of law is considered the foundation of reform movement, the reformists must abide by law, the daily said in its opinion column. But sending open letter by the MPs to the Judiciary chief is not concomitant with the rule of law. The reformists must explore legal ways for achieving their objectives.

JAVAN Over the past nine months the Legislature has proved that parallel to the Judiciary, it is interested in Judicial issues and has concentrated on the cases of few inmates, it said in its opinion column. What surprises all is a letter by 150 MPs whose content was similar to that of an outlawed group which was distributed during the ceremonies marking the death anniversary of Mahdi Bazargan. This letter has strengthened the idea that some of the MPs through reflecting the concerns of this outlawed group are trying to pit the Legislature and Judiciary against one another.

ENTEKHAB Both the factions have failed to present a modern model of governance, Mohammad-Javad Larijani said in an interview, adding, although we have portfolios, they are not functional. On the forthcoming presidential elections, he said, I think the right wing must nominate a candidate, participate in the elections and present its new platform. I am not worried about being defeated in elections.

RESALAT An unprecedented measure taken by the Parliament with regard to the next year's budget is the reduction of the budget of cultural and religious organizations and augmentation of the that of political parties, religious minorities, and artistic institutions. The reason the advocates of reform forwarded for their decision was that such organizations are not accountable, but when it came to the artistic and political institutions, they forgot the issue of accountability, the daily said in its opinion column.
