Govt. awaiting GC ruling on subsidy reform plan: Iran's president
TEHRAN, Dec. 7 (MNA) -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here on Monday that the administration is waiting for the Guardian Council to make a decision on the subsidy reform plan.
The subsidy reform plan has been ratified by the Majlis and sent to the Guardian Council for final approval.
However, the administration says the Majlis changed the bill and it is now not the same bill that the administration proposed.
The president said in Isfahan on Wednesday that he would withdraw his subsidy reform plan.
If the administration is not given a free hand in this regard, the plan cannot be implemented, he added.
However, MP Hossein Sobhaninia has said that the subsidy reform plan has been sent to the Guardian Council for final approval, and the administration cannot withdraw the plan.
If the Guardian Council does not approve the plan, it will be returned to the parliament and then the administration’s points can be considered; otherwise, the plan will be passed into law, Sobhaninia, who is a member of the Majlis Presiding Board, told the Mehr News Agency on Wednesday.
