Rifi Says he Adheres to Political Path of Late PM Rafik Hariri
Resigned Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi stated on Thursday that he is no longer in the al-Mustaqbal movement but that he will continue to defend the political path of late PM Rafik Hariri.
“I am not in the al-Mustaqbal movement, but I am a fierce fighter in defense of the political Harirism,” said Rifi in reference to the political path of late PM Rafik Hariri.
Rifi's comments came after a visit to Grand Mufti of the Republic Abdul Latif Deryan at Dar el-Fatwa.
“I do not resemble this government and I will never withdraw my resignation,” he added.
Rifi resigned in February from the government in wake of the release of former Minister Michel Samaha from jail and at Hizbullah's verbal attacks against Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states.
