NCRI - The head of City Council of Tehran’s Transportation Committee called for the resignation of Bagher Ghalibaf the mayor of Tehran, following Tehran’s Plasco Building disaster.
In his pre-agenda speech at the City Council of Tehran’s meeting on Tuesday January 23, Mohsen Sorkhu pointed to a clip released in Sunday’s closed session of the City Council and reflected in different media, saying that “the clip has been released in such a way that it seems as if the mayor had warned the City Council over Plasco Building’s safety issues and the City Council did nothing about it. Like I said in Sunday’s special session, the Plasco incident is so huge that it’s expected of the mayor of Tehran to resign.”
Also in Tuesday’s session, member of the fake City Council of Tehran ‘Rahmatollah Hafezi’ confessed to the plunders carried out within the council, saying that “unfortunately, of the 120 billion tomans supposed to be used for purchasing firefighting equipments, only 54 billion tomans have been funded. So, don’t lie to people that you’ve fully dedicated the budget for the equipments. It would be much better if you release the budget details than to tell lies to people.”
Also regarding the Tuesday January 24 session of the fake City Council of Tehran, the state-run ISNA news agency reported that after a reminder by the Secretary of the Council, Abbas Jadidi was going to speak, assuming that it was his turn. He was however protested by Mohsen Pirhadi who told him: “it is Mrs. Rastgoo’s turn. That’s my job to keep track of whose turn it is. I’m in a bad mood today, I’m a nervous wreck. Please sit down.” Abbas Jadidi gets angry at this moment and tells him:”be careful how you talk to me. Who do you think you are talking to me like this? You’ve got carried away? I wonder what’s wrong with this hot seat that anyone sitting on it gets carried away.” He then said that “we’re living in a minefield.”
