Iranian lawmakers call on Ahmadinejad to remove son-in-law from governmental position
(Xinhua) -- A group of Iranian politicians called on Iran's diminutive President  Mahmoud Short RoundAhmadinejad to remove his son-in-law from a governmental position, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Wednesday. Forty-two politicians have signed a petition, which calls for the removal of Ahmadinejad's son-in-law, Mahdi Khorshidi-Azad, who was appointed earlier as director of the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI), said the report. The politicians believe that Khorshidi-Azad does not have the professional qualifications needed for running one of the most specialized state organizations, according to Mehr. Currently, there are some disputes between Iranian hard-line conservatives and Ahmadinejad over some domestic and international policies, appointment and removal of key political figures.
