Ahmadinejad\u2019s top aide Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei who his candidacy for presidential election denied by Iran\u2019s Guardian Council<\/a> says he will ask the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei to help him back in the presidential race.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think my disqualification is injustice and I will follow-up with the supreme leader to solve this,\u201d Mashaei said in an interview with Fars news agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mahaei\u2019s campaign also issued a statement on his disqualification asking Ayatollah Khamenei to \u201cprevent violation of the nation\u2019s principal rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe also ask the president Ahamadinejad to use his position to fix any possible violation over this issue,\u201d the statement read.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mashaei\u2019s chance of being disqualified<\/a> by the Guardian Council was very high due to his non-Islamic remarks.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also made controversial statements about \u201cthe end of the Islamic Era\u201d. \u201cThe Islamic Era is over; we began the revolution in 1979 to promote our ideas to other countries, but I should say that the Islamic Era is over; this doesn\u2019t mean that clinging to Islamic ideas will vanish, but the Era is over. Like the Era of horse riding is over, but we still have horses and horse riding and the Era of cars will come to an end, but there will still be cars and driving.\u201d He said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mashaee was accused in 2011 to be part of a big banking embezzlement. One of the main suspects confessed to his hidden meeting with Mashaee. Thus far neither Mashaee, nor the administration has commented on the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
