Relationship between Strange Visit of Mr. Khatami from Book Exhibition and Harsh Attacks

Last Friday when I went to book exhibition, many publishers said that they wish Mr. Khatami would visit the exhibition. I told Mr. Khatami. Apparently he had already decided to go there. He just said that: we have arranged to be there only for three hours and during this time, we cannot see the exhibition thoroughly. It was exactly the day that 70 MPs wanted to give a warning to the Minister of Intelligence against Mr. Khatami. They were the ones who were the chiefs or in a way involved in martyrdom-seeking groups and wanted to perform martyrdom-seeking operations in some parts of the world and all the world brought them as example for terrorist approach of Iran . Keyhan as usual writes daily articles against Khatami. We, who now that Mr. Khatami has not made his final decision for taking part in the election as candidate, are really surprised that why such harsh attacks have started so soon. When Mr. Khatami had gone to the exhibition, the order of some halls was so much disturbed and people had rushed to welcome and see him in a way that the whole system was disordered. He could visit only some booths. People attacked to see him so much that a glass was broken. Mr. Khatami felt that he could not stay any longer. He visited the exhibition only for half an hour. All those who saw this unprecedented support made from Khatami understood the reason behind the unprecedented attacks made by different conservative parties against Khatami. That is why Khatami says these oppositions and propagandas against him are like jokes. It is possible to imagine a more promising future after the presidential election.
