Mohammad Ali Abtahi wrote three letters to the Supreme Leader on behalf of Khatami
In a debate with Ahdian, an advisor to Ghalibaf, Mohammad Ali Abtahi, a reformist political activist, said in Arman newspaper that Mr. Khatami wrote three letters to the Supreme Leader, suggesting to skip the third steps and address the issues starting from the first steps.
These letters have not yet received a response, and you ask why he doesn’t come forward.
Mr. Seyyed Mohammad Khatami can only be effective if Seyyed Ahmad Khatami is not present. You ask why Seyyed Mohammad Khatami doesn’t become like Seyyed Ahmad Khatami. A diverse society needs these forces.
Now, why did Mr. Khatami receive so much criticism for his statement? Because he said that overthrow is neither desirable nor possible.
