The information minister's ijtihad condition remains in effect.
Kashkavi, spokesman for the National Security Commission:
There was no contradiction between my statement and Mr. Hait Moghadam, the deputy chairman of the National Security Commission. What I said is that so far no plan or bill to remove the title of Ijihad has been submitted to the National Security Committee of the Legislature.
I also asked Mr. Hait Moghadam, and he explained that he did not mean a proposal or a bill, but the issue was raised once in the committee and the members expressed their opinion.
What the Deputy Chairman of the National Security Commission brought up was an exchange of views and not a legal process. In other words, supporters and opponents expressed their opinions in the same meeting.
The law determining the terms of the Minister of Information has not changed unless a plan or bill is presented in the future, the consideration of which will be subject to the opinion of the government and the Islamic Council.
