Iranian MP Ali Motahhari resigns

TEHRAN, Oct. 13 (MNA) – MP Ali Motahhari tendered his resignation to the Majlis Presiding Board in protest at the fact that it did not confirm the receipt of a motion to summon Iran`s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the parliament to answer lawmakers’ questions about a number of the administration’s irregularities.

The motion was submitted to the Presiding Board on June 26. One hundred MPs had signed the motion, but 14 lawmakers withdraw their signatures later.
