About this person
He was a law graduate who held several positions including publisher of the Darya newspaper, member of the Parliament during the Majlis's fifteenth assembly, political deputy of Ahmad Qavam and agricultural minister in the cabinets of both Ali Amini and Asadollah Alam. His death in suspicious circumstances was attributed to the fact that he had become immensely popular especially among peasants after the land reform, something that was not appreciated by the SAVAK, the Shah's secret police.
