Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli takes the rap for violence flare-up.
A group of Iranian parliamentarians have summoned Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli to address a number of questions regarding the June 12 presidential election and its aftermath.
Some 24 lawmakers asked Mahsouli to expound on a number of controversial issues, including the recent night raids on university dormitories and private residences by unknown groups, which have sparked a storm of protests in recent days, Tabnak reported.
Mahsouli took the rap for failing to identify and arrest the perpetrators of the attacks and leaving the issues in a haze of ambiguity.
He was also scolded for what the lawmakers believed to be “a lack of crisis management during the nine consecutive days of nationwide turmoil”.
