Rouhani says state should not have religion on its side

Iran’s Hassan Rouhani has said a religious state is good; however, the state religion should be discussed.

 

 
Hassan Rouhani who was addressing a meeting of environmental activists and NGOs days ahead of World Environment Day in June 5, told the participants that a religious state was good, but he cast doubt on the state religion’s being so. “The state should not have the religion on its side; the religion should be the province of ulema, scholars, they should be only the sole advertiser of religion,” he added.
