no he didn't lying , but he did not telling all the truth , its right that at the time there was no Gasht-Ershad , but there was Police-e Amniyat-e Akhlaghi, that if I'm not wrong they didn't mention and even Gasht-e Ershad when existed was not something outside police , it was a sub branch of it .
He also stated these tasks are taken care of by Niruye Entezami, not some distinct organ portrayed as a separate so-called "morality police".
That it will be a specific branch of Niru Entezami is a given, even in western secular regimes police forces have special departments focusing on moral types of crimes, generically called vice squads in English. Their exact official names and the boundaries of their areas of duty vary from country to country. But fundamentally it's the same kind of service.
So use of the term "morality police" by western media in reference to Iran is incorrect and misleading, so is the term Gashte Ershad in Farsi. This is probably why the official made the remark during the IRIB debate.
