Shiite Alliance Working To End Khalq’s Presence
Politics
(Addustour Newspaper) - 20 JUN - The Shiite Alliance announced yesterday that they have decided to work on ending the presence of the Mujahadin Khalq in Iraq through a Parliamentary recommendation. The Alliance List held a meeting at Abd Al Aziz Al Hakim’s office. The meeting was led by Humam Hammoudi. They discussed information regarding Iraqi political entities that participated in a meeting at the Iranian Mujahadin Khalq HQ.
The Alliance believes that this participation was against Iraq’s laws and that it was also in violation of the constitution as it is illegal for this type of participation with a known terrorist group in Iraqi territory. They also discussed many issues including the Alliance’s position in the government as well as changing the Parliament chief.
A statement issued by the Alliance mentioned that they must come to an agreement with the Accord Front and Kurdish Coalition about the new Parliament chief. Additionally, they discussed ministerial changes and confirmed that the new ministers should be qualified and not based on an ethnic sectarian basis. Finally, they discussed the Alliance’s decision to establish a committee to follow the security file, especially as it pertains to the arming of suspected groups by the MNF which may be a danger to Iraqi national security now and in the future.
