Iran Press/Iran News: Speaking in a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Rouhani stated: "In Islam, politics is not separate from government and government is not separate from religion. Social activities are not separate from spiritual and religious activities."
Referring to the anniversary of the Constitutional Revolution, the president said: "114 years have passed since the Constitutional Revolution and Iran is a pioneer in democracy and the establishment of the Parliament in West Asia."
Constitutional Revolution of Iran, took place between 1905 and 1911. The revolution led to the establishment of a parliament in Persia (Iran) during the Qajar dynasty.
The revolution opened the way for fundamental change in Persia, heralding the modern era.
Emphasizing that the Islamic Revolution completed the Constitutional Revolution, Rouhani said: "Today, we continued the path of the Constitutional Revolution and we are witnessing religious democracy."
We all should know that as far as we respect the ballot box and the votes of the people, no power will harm us.
When the government is elected by the people, the government and the parliament and the rest of the bodies of government are directly and indirectly elected by the people, it does not make sense to decide from somewhere else and from a palace in another country to end the government for the Iranian people and make turmoil.
The chairman of the Supreme National Security Council added: "As long as there are elections, Iran will remain strong."
"Of course, [enemies] can harass us, but they cannot deprive Iranians of the government and democracy," Rouhani concluded. 101
