The Deputy President's Office criticizes the disrespect of some famous figures towards the Iranian national flag and anthem: Let's not be patriotic.
Seyed Abbas Mousavi wrote:
The national flag and anthem symbolize the "collective identity, national unity and territorial integrity" of countries; Respecting them gives us credibility, not us!
Whoever you are, you can be an opponent or a critic of the government of the country where you live and earn your living, but you have no right to disrespect the national symbol of your people!
