TEHRAN – MP Ali Motahari announced on Saturday that case of controversial lawmaker-elect Minoo Khaleghi from the Isfahan constituency has been referred to the inter-branch dispute settlement council.

Khaleghi is a reformist who secured a seat in parliament in elections on February 26. However, the Guardian Council has said she is not qualified as she had reportedly removed her headscarf in a female meeting outside the country. However, similar accusations have been made against her.
