IT is a shame that our lawmakers are wasting so much time inside the National Assembly discussing a draft law on allowing military men grow their beards at a time when Iran is exerting immense efforts to develop its nuclear weapon while courageously challenging the entire world.

Some of our MPs want to impose their views on the entire country through this draft law. It is very shameful when the legislative authority wastes its time discussing a bill on military men’s beard when it is supposed to tackle citizens’ affairs and help find ways to overcome the recession which has been affecting the country since many years.

Is it proper to allow a few MPs impose their will on a civilized country? Couldn’t the issue be settled through an administrative decision?

Forgive us!
