late Muhammad Taqi Falsafi
The great orator late Muhammad Taqi Falsafi writes: “Their aim is to assign the important posts to the deviant cult of Baha’ism. From that time on, they start their official activities gradually to dominate the cultural, economic, social and political affairs. Because according to Eyalati and Velayati written authorization, these was any differences between the Baha’is and the Iranian Muslims and swearing by the Qurand changed in swearing by the heavenly books. This issue made it easy to swear by their book “Iqan”. The substituted the word “educated” with the word “being male” which means both men and women can take responsibilities.[2] The Pahlavi regime was following two purpose to assign posts to women: First, preaching unchastity and unveiling, Second: pretending it supports women’s rights. Of course, women has restricted during that period of time: veiling was forbidden for the students, scholars, female employees. They weren’t allowed to refer to ministries, governmental organizations wearing veil. Traveling by the national aviation of Iran was forbidden for the veiled ones. The veiled women banned to use bus services, to go to cinemas and cooperative companies for city and village and to go to libraries and public associations.
Imam Khomeyni (P.H.)
The then scholars headed by Imam Khomeyni (P.H.) felt dangerous. They opposed the written authorization sending telegraphs, letters and etc. a general riot was to be created in all cities of Iran against the regime.[3] Eventually, Asadullah Alam’s government was forced to cancel it in 1341/9/7. However, the great leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Excellency Imam Khomeyni (P.H.) said: “This canclement should be published in the press.” So, the government published this headline in 1341/9/10: “The written authorization dated 1341/7/14 won’t be enforceable.”[4]
Consequently, the great sources of imitation and Imam Khomeyni (P.H.) didn’t allow Baha’is to take posts and responsibilities in the government and destroy the written authorization planned by the Colonialism.
