Agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati must appear before parliament within 10 days to defend his performance during an impeachment session called over his failure to address problems besetting the sector.

According to him, 10 lawmakers have signed the motion, which is the minimum number of signatures required to call a vote of confidence.
