Azari-Jahromi Calls for Fair Distribution of Subsidies: “Deliver the People’s Rights Directly”
Former Minister Advocates for Equitable Fuel Subsidy Policies
Tehran – Mohammad Javad Azari-Jahromi, former Minister of Communications under President Rouhani’s administration, has publicly addressed recent remarks regarding fuel subsidies, urging a fair and direct approach to distributing public benefits.
In a post on his Telegram channel, Azari-Jahromi responded to discussions on fuel subsidy policies, emphasizing the need to avoid categorizing citizens into economic brackets. “Do not divide the people into income groups,” he wrote. “For a negligible subsidy from national resources, do not force individuals into false claims out of necessity to secure minimal benefits.”
A Push for Transparency and Justice
Azari-Jahromi stressed that the rights of the people should be delivered “directly and justly,” highlighting concerns over bureaucratic inefficiencies that may complicate access to essential subsidies. His remarks reflect broader calls within Iran for streamlined welfare policies that prioritize equitable distribution without undue hardship.
The former minister’s statement aligns with ongoing discussions on economic reforms aimed at safeguarding citizens’ welfare while ensuring efficient use of national resources. His comments underscore the importance of transparency and fairness in government assistance programs.
As debates on subsidy structures continue, Azari-Jahromi’s intervention adds a prominent voice advocating for policies that uphold the dignity and rights of all Iranians.
