Iranian Dissident Cleric Criticizes Ahmadinejad

Iran's most senior dissident cleric has criticized the economic policies and nuclear diplomacy of president Mahmud Ahmadinejad, Radio Farda reported.

Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri has said that Iranians have other rights beyond access to nuclear energy.

Montazeri has also criticized Ahmadinejad's government over rising inflation and said that people's economic problems cannot be resolved by chanting "slogans."

Ahmadinejad on January 21 said his government has successfully controlled inflation.
