On the Question of Establishing a Republic During 25-28 Mordad, 1332

some time ago, a friend had asked me a question on this issue. Then, I asked a JM leader about the issue. The following is our e-mail exchange. I have not corrected our misspellings.

MK

============================

> During Dr. Mossadegh government (1951-53), there was talk about  establishing a republic. Dr. Fatemi was among those who proposed and supported the  establishment of a jomhuri. I heard that there was talk about Dehkhoda  becoming President while Dr. Mossadegh would be prime minister.
