Kamangir writes [1],according to an Iran based news site,Aftab [2], “a few days ago,a large group of MPs were lined up in order to greet Iranian president,Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in parliament. Some of the MPs who had not seen him since his return[Hajii pilgrimage [3]] would touch his cloths [because they considered them blessed].One MP went as far as drinking the remaining water in a glass Ahmadinejad had used. He then splashed the water on his clothes.”
