text: The Mehr news agency reports that when a number of MPs contested the announcement, saying it's in direct opposition to the Supreme Leader's recent warning, Ali Larijani stressed: "I officially announce that there have been no orders issued to Parliament concerning this issue and I have said this on many occasions."
  Last week, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a stern warning to government officials to refrain from infighting, stressing that whoever "plays on the public's sentiments will definitely be liable for treason."
  Many lawmakers regard todays summons by Parliament to be in breach of the leader's call to avoid tensions in the lead-up to the election in June of 2013.
  Finally, Mehdi Kouchakzadeh reportedly left the assembly, saying: "It is not necessary to order everything to a wise adult; we believe that the gist of the leader's statements is that he is not inclined toward summoning the president at this time."
  The head of Parliament, Ali Larijani, dismissed the MPs' opposition, saying his own interpretation of the leader's statement is different.
  The opposition to Ahmadinejad's summons had expressed concern that he will use the occasion to reveal secrets about the upper echelons of power.
