Despite strict security and crackdown measures, over half of the workers taking part in this even left the hall protesting Rouhani’s bogus remarks.
                              
According to workers Rouhani was trying to mention a number of hollow promises to fill the program, and on the other hand, there was no time provided to the protesters to express their demands. Taking all this into consideration, the workers raised posters to express their demands. According to the workers Rouhani at the end of his speech did not even say goodbye to the workers and rushed out of the hall before the workers could begin expressing their demands.
