Iran’s Disputed Elections; Story of a baby kisser

Foreign Policy – a well reputed magazine published a picture of baby-kissera person, embarrassing and kissing children’s community with a grin on his face. It was reflection of a kind hearted person, who was playing with children.

Iranians could not visualize, this person can choose a very strict and harsh course of action against protesters. Who was that person? He was Mahmoud Ahmedinejad – President of Iran.

Ahmedinejad – born Mahmoud Saborjhian near Garmsar in the village of Aradan on 28th October, 1956. In his childhood, his family moved to Narmark district in Southern Tehran. During this period, the Saborjhian family changed its name to Ahmedinejad, which means “of the race of Muhammad”.

After the Islamic Revolution, he became a member of the Office for Strengthening Unity, an organization developed to prevent students from sympathy or allying with the budding Mujahedin-e-Khalq. He owned a PhD in Transportation Engineering and Planning from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 1997.

Six former hostages of 1979 US Embassy Crisis in Iran remember Ahmedinejad playing a vital role in their imprisonment, an article published in New York Times on July 01, 2005. A follow up article on July 09, 2005 from the New York Times indicated an investigation into the matter by US State Department was inconclusive. However, at the time of July 29 article, none of the aforementioned six hostages had been interviewed. He had not any involvement with the hostage taking. Iranian officials denied in a reply.

“ITS DO ABLE AND WE CAN DO IT”, was a motto of Ahmedinejad’s presidential campaign in 2005 and he was elected as President of Iran in 2005. After completing 04 years, he was again elected for second term resulted in so called “disputed elections”. According to Iran’s election headquarters, from a total number of 39,165,191 ballots. Ahmedinejad won 24,527,516 votes, which accounts for 62.63 %, while his main rival Mir Hussain Mousavi could secure only 13,216,411, which accounts just 33.75% ending result of 12th June, 2009 election, stands disputed and caused a series of street protests and blood shits, never happened in the entire history of Iran. These deadly riots gobbled more than 10 persons and 457 personnel arrested – the News Agency ISNA reported.

The entire european media were against the Ahmedinejad, depicting him a monarch, during riots coverage. Even, United State’s interrupted in Iran’s internal matters. This situation assembled questions on US – Muslim world’s relations. Why they are hush on deadly protests of China? Where more than 170 people died and 1080 people injured, in comparison with ten – in Iran. Why they are against Iran? Why they have an aversion to Ahmedinejad? Just because he criticizes US and Israel policies against Muslim world with zero-limit fear.

Ahmedinejad had called for the “occupying regime” to be “wiped off the map”, a speech translated by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcast, though a disputed. Another controversial statement for describing “the Holocaust” as a “Myth”, leads to accusation of anti-semitism. “NO, I am not against Jews, i respect them very much”, said Ahmedinejad in response. He further clarified “i am not saying that the holocaust did not happen at  all, this is  not the  judgment that i am passing here ”.

Furthermore, he is trying to strengthen Iran’s relations with Russia, Venezuela, Syria and the Persian Gulf States, being adverse pool of United States and also for balance of power in the region but he has to nullify his policies towards US. Now world has changed itself into a global village and the United States too, step forward in changing its policies towards Iran, because this troubled world can not afford another World War, as it has already faced two. It will be fruitful for USA, as already having an economy crisis in country and also for those innocent Muslims, who are already trying to prove, WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS.
