TEHRAN -- Commission Article 10 of political parties will soon debate disbanding the Islamic Revolution's Mujahedin Organization (IRMO) at the Ministry of the Interior, reported the press Sunday.

IRMO drew the ire of instructors at the Qom seminary for backing scholar Hashem Aghajari whose last month speech in the western city of Hamedan to call for religious reforms in Iran provoked outrage among many religious leaders accusing him of sacrilege, IRNA reported.

The Persian-language **tosse-e** quoted the emrooz website as reporting that the commission's earlier session to discuss the issue had delayed making any decision to the effect arguing that the cassette of Aghajari's speech was not yet available.

Aghajari has been detained by court in Hamedan on repeated charges of insulting religious sanctities.
