Higher Islamic Council Urges Respect for Cabinet Decisions
The Higher Islamic Council on Saturday voiced concern over the delay in the formation of the cabinet and called for the respect of decisions taken by the government.
After its weekly meeting at Dar al-Fatwa, the council reiterated the need to remain committed to nationalistic stances in terms of the preservation of national unity and the state and its constitutional institutions.
Politicians should put their nation’s interest above their personal ambitions to preserve the safety of the nation and its citizens, said the statement issued by the conferees.
They said the Lebanese should live respectful lives in a state based on national partnership between Muslims and Christians.
All Lebanese should hold onto the institutions and respect the law and cabinet decisions, the statement said in reference to a 2007 cabinet decision to put a third GSM network under the operation of telecom company OGERO.
The network has caused a tumult between the March 8 and 14 forces after Caretaker Telecommunications Minister Charbel Nahhas sought to dismantle it.
The delay in the formation of the government has bad implications on the economy and social conditions, it added.
