Lawmaker censures delay in severing ties with UK
An Iranian lawmaker backing the administration of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad notified the Parliament (Majlis) yesterday on delay in considering the plan for severing relations with the UK.
Nourollah Haidari, a lawmaker from the city of Farsan questioned the presiding board of the Parliament about a one-starred plan for cutting ties with what he called the wicked British government, Khabar Online correspondent reported.
'Notably it seems that a study on this plan has been moved from the Majlis agenda against the rules,' he said.
Last week, two other lawmakers who also back Ahmadinejad had given notice to the board on the same issue.
'Do you have any doubt about the viciousness of the evil UK administration? Aren't the post-election elements of sedition nourished by such a manipulator government? Why don't you meet the repetitive demands of the lawmakers?' Haidari asked.
The principlist lawmaker requested Majlis presiding board to set the plan on the agenda before the parliament members attempt to put their authority into effect.
In response, the Deputy Majlis Speaker, Mohammad Hassan Abu Torabi-Fard reminded Haidari that study on the plan is underway at national security and foreign policy commission and it has not been submitted to the floor of Majlis.
Earlier foreign policy committee of the parliament had begun considering a request made by a British parliamentary delegation for visiting Iran.
