The outstanding Iranian Sunni leader criticized provincial authorities over forbidding him to travel to Rameshk city of Kerman province.
\nThe official website of Shaikh Abdol-Hamid quoted some parts of his speech during a graduation ceremony in Koteych town of Fannuj district. He said: \u201cOfficials in any organization represent the Islamic Republic of Iran and they should have a long sight and broad mind. They have no way but to higher their tolerance. It is a sincere advice to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The prominent Sunni scholar has told news agencies that he can travel only to Tehran and Qom outside of Sistan-Baluchistan province.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not the time of saying to someone you belong to Sistan-Baluchistan and this is Kerman. Tehran, Kerman, Sistan-Baluchistan and the rest of provinces belong to Iran and Iran is the country of the entire nation,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n
The president of Darululoom Zahedan further said: \u201cIf you see peace and calmness in the frontier region, it is just because of Ulama and people\u2019s efforts and cooperation. I have been threatened many times by extremists, but I have not gone back. We expected the officials in Kerman would welcome us and they would be happy that we wanted to enter Kerman.\u201d<\/p>\n
He asked for punishment and correction of fanatic elements who opposed his trip to Rameshk city. Rameshk is a city where mainly Sunni Balochs live and it was a part of Baluchistan until three decades ago.<\/p>\n
The eminent Iranian Sunni leader addressed the short-sighted sides and said: \u201cOpen your eyes and watch the world well. It is not the time of saying people you are \u2018Sunni\u2019 or \u2018Shia\u2019. We have resolved these issues in our province.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes I regret when I see we Iranians do not value our elites and intellectuals. There are Iranian citizens whose capabilities are being respected and recognized by the world; we should bring them back to the country and utilize their capabilities,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n
At the end of his speech, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid conveyed his message to the people of Rameshk calling on them to act on the religion strongly and do not forget their endless life and grave.<\/p>\n
He also said: \u201cThe respectable people of Rameshk! If I could not meet you this time, God willing we will meet in Rameshk in another time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
