Mufti says solutions should not be at depositors' expense

Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan on Wednesday called for “preserving people’s deposits and savings,” stressing that “the solutions for the financial and economic crisis should not be at the expense of depositors and their lifelong savings.”

The solutions “should be at the expense of those who plunged the country into the current deterioration at all levels,” the Mufti added.

“We will not accept that citizens be the victims of any measures taken by the state and its institutions, seeing as the people’s plight is huge,” Daryan went on to say.

“We must stand by them and support them, because the country cannot be built at the expense of impoverishing its people,” the Mufti added.
