The former mayor of Tehran sarcastically refers to the Zakanis who want to build a mosque in Qeytarieh Park, for example, they want to say that we are very religious.
Pirouz Hanachi, the former mayor of Tehran, essentially believes that the main problem in managing Tehran municipality is deviating from the city’s priorities and the needs of its people. Those who want to build a mosque in Qeytarieh Park ignore the air pollution, traffic, and reduction of urban green spaces and want to convey a message that we are believers.
The municipality is now pursuing a mission other than its own responsibilities. The most important issue in urban management is revenue resources.
These constructions not only do not generate income for the city but also incur costs for their construction, management, and maintenance from municipal resources.
Building mosques is the work of the people, and the municipality should facilitate this work.
Someone who imposes such costs on city and country management and insists on this idea of building a mosque in Qeytarieh wants to say that we are very religious and accept all costs.
