Ahmadinejad Sacks and Tacitly Blames Ministers
August 14, 2007 by pulkit
In a bid to come clean on the gross failure of his economic policies, Ahmadinejad sacked two key ministers. The Oil and Industry ministers were both shown the door by the cynical dictator. However, their exit was officially described as voluntary. But it is certain that they did not willingly submit their resignations. Instead, they were haled into resigning.
Ahmadinejad has been in the line of fire for his economic policies that have wrecked the Iranian economy. It would be dignified to call them “policies”, as they are rambling, aimless and eccentric dictates of a madman, hell-bent upon self-annihilation.
In a major cabinet shake-up, Mr Ahmadinejad announced he had “accepted the resignations” of Kazem Vaziri-Hamaneh, and Alireza Tahmasbi respectively. But despite the diplomatic wording, there appeared little doubt that the two men had been forced out, to be replaced by interim caretakers until permanent successors are appointed. [source]
