‘TROUBLE OF THE NATION’
The demonstrators gathered in front of the Parliament building in the capital, Tehran, chanted slogans against President Ibrahim Chief and Minister of Labor Huccetullah Abdulmelik, and carried banners reading “Inflation, expensiveness is the scourge of the nation” and “Neither the Parliament nor the state is thinking of the nation”.
