The story of inserting the name of the mayor of Tehran on the memorial stone of Nima Yoshij

According to Fars News Agency’s urban group, Abdolmotahar Mohammadkhani said about the inclusion of the name of Tehran mayor on Nima’s new tombstone: Nima Yoshij’s body was buried in the Imamzadeh Abdullah shrine in Tehran until the early 1970s, after which he was transferred to his hometown.

He continued: Cultural associates of one of the districts of the municipality of District 20 prepared a memorial stone for the wedding of Nima Yoshij to be installed in his former burial place in Imamzadeh Abdullah Engraved on this stone.

The spokesman of Tehran Municipality stated: “Unfortunately, based on the personal taste and decision of one of the colleagues, the name of the mayor of Tehran was also written on this memorial stone, which will be corrected immediately with the warning of the assistant mayor of Tehran” Esfahdah “.

Mohammadkhani pointed out: Not only the name of the mayor of Tehran has been removed from this memorial stone, but also the way it was installed and placed has been modified to be completely reminiscent of the memorial of this late poet.

He added: “However, it was decided to design a small structure as a memorial to the late Nima Yoshij and install it in the same place.”
