IFP- A former conservative lawmaker conservative lawmaker has warned President Hassan Rouhani against the probable dire consequencesof his recent remarks in stump speeches on the campaign trail, saying they will work to his detriment in the long-run.





The former Iranian conservative MP Ahmad Tavakkoli has, in a letter, warned Rouhani against the likely unfavourable outcomes of the remarks he made a few days ago in his stump speeches in the western Iranian provinces of Kermanshah and Hamadan.

Tavakkoli told him the harm such remarks will do to him in the long-term will be a lot greater than their short-term benefits.

According to a Farsi report by the Alef news website, Tavakkoli, also told Rouhani that his recent statements are leading him to the beginning of a path treaded by some of the predecessors who relished the same thoughts.

He added this was a path that instead of earning them a good reputation and ending well for them, gained them notoriety and caused them to suffer a tragic fate.

In his recent stump speeches in Hamadan, Kermanshah and West Azarbaijan provinces, Rouhani strongly criticised some of his rivals as well as their background sand past and present approaches using unprecedentedly harsh rhetoric.
