<\/p>\n

Iran’s Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani has criticized\u00a0President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over his choice of words, saying the chief executive’s remarks “counter reality,” reports Iran’s PRESS TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The President’s language should be decent, sound and fair,” said Larijani in reaction to President Ahmadinejad’s speech among journalists on Saturday marking Journalist Day, ILNA reported on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Iranian judiciary chief blamed President Ahmadinejad for what he called “unfair statements” about the judiciary’s role in restricting the “freedom” of journalists or convicting them on press charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“On Journalist Day, some unfair statements were made against the judiciary and unfortunately President Ahmadinejad also contributed to these unfair allegations,” Iran’s judiciary chief noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Sometimes journalists are indicted by the judiciary for what they write or quote,” Larijani quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He stressed that the judiciary may expect a journalist to create false stories, but does not expect the country’s president to make untrue remarks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Of course, the journalist’s [question] tone and the President’s response [during the meeting] indicate that it was a prearranged issue, resulted from the provocation of instigators and temptation of chaos seekers,” the judiciary chief continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“But what matters here is the president’s language and the accusations he made against the judiciary.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
