Tehran, Dec 18, IRNA -- President Mohammad Khatami said on Wednesday that his office is not implicated in the case related to the polling institutes.

Responding to a question posed by reporters at the parliament, President Khatami said that there is a possibility that an evidence emerge from somewhere. The case should be examined in line with justice, he said adding that politicization of the case should be avoided.

The president said that he followed up the case to make sure that the proceedings would be held in accordance with the law.

He criticized the newspapers which launch propaganda campaign against government institutes.

"I'm very sorry that the newspapers are raising controversy over a charge that is still under investigation by the court and no verdict has been issued on the case. Such way of conduct misleads public opinion making a defendant falsely a convict." he said.

He said in reply to another reporter that he believes that the charge should not be politicized and the proceedings would be held by upholding justice.

"The pollsters whose charge has not been proved should not be depicted as convict. Other issues should not influence the proceedings and the case should not be exploited for political ends," the president said.

A reporter said that it seems that the United States wants to apply the scenario of Iraq to Iran, the president replied that the US claims about Iranian nuclear activities are totally baseless.

Iran is working under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran is a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and does not seek nuclear arms, the president said.

"What our region needs is security and stability. Solidarity among regional governments will help stability in the region while the entire world is exposed to a serious threat," he said.

Asked about 'a looming political tremor', he said, "I don't know what you mean by the looming political tremor."
