Fatemi Amin attended an open session of the Parliament on Sunday and took the podium to answer the questions of a number of lawmakers complaining about his ministry’s performance and poor handling of the industrial situation.
At the conclusion of the session, the parliamentarians are planned to vote for the motion to dismiss the minister.
