Ayatollah Tavakkol addressed the recommendations of the Supreme Leader to the experts of the nation to demand from the officials and explained the role of the experts of the nation in the awareness of the members of the society. RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Sayyed Rahim Tavakkol, the representative of the people of Mazandaran in the Assembly of Experts of the Leadership, referred to the role and position of the Assembly of Leadership Experts in the Islamic system, said, “The Assembly of Leadership has several important duties. One of the duties that won’t be performed, God-willing, during our lifetime, is to choose the future leader of the country after the current leader [Ayatollah Khamenei], may God put us before the death of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.”
His Eminence said, “The election of the Supreme Leader is a huge matter that after the demise of Imam Khomeyni, the members of the Assembly of Experts elected the Supreme Leader by the grace of God.”
He stated that sometimes the Supreme Leader has very important statements that are conveyed to the members of this Assembly and said, “Members of the Assembly of Experts aren’t in charge of the country’s administration, but they are responsible for explaining the Supreme Leader’s statements.”
Referring to the need to turn the statements of the Supreme Leader into a discourse by the nation’s experts, Ayatollah Tavakkol added, “In line with this duty, the Supreme Leader, members of the Assembly of Experts, repeatedly told the people to turn these statements into discourse and to inform the people about the country’s issues and to demand and respond to the heads of forces, ministers and legal officials.”
His Eminence stated, “This demand leads to blessings, one of which is that the relevant official realizes that he is under the magnifying glass and control and that the people become aware of the text of the cases because if they aren’t informed, they will unwittingly and ignorantly hold the irresponsible person responsible. They see and will consider many of the duties entrusted to the government as the duties of the leader of the society, if not their duties.”
He said that the executive director of the country should be accountable for many affairs of the country and said, “If the people aren’t aware of this issue in the country, they will transfer their demands from one official to another, but if we act on the awareness of the people, they will know who to address.”
Ayatollah Tavakkol stressed the need for the experts of the nation to inform the public and said, “Members of the Assembly of Experts have a duty to inform the public about the problems facing the country and its culprits and this is a huge and important issue.”
