In this period of time, not only many western books were published; but also, several political assemblies and organization such as masonry were formed having special aims. Masonry was one of the important and secret organizations shouting the slogans of freedom, equality, brotherhood and etc. which was established with the help of people such as Molkim Khan. This organization started its activities such as preaching the western culture and destroying the religious rites.

Mulla Ali Kani was of the main one who openly opposed. Ayatollah Kani wrote some letters for king Naseruddin to announced this issue that the mentioned organization must be cancelled stating his reasons. One of his reasons is as follow:
