Shafaq News/ The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, on Tuesday said that he would not share a cabinet with the head of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki.
Al-Sadr said in a televised interview, "I invited Hadi al-Ameri [head of al-Fatah (Conquest) alliance], Qais al-Khazali [the Secretary-General of the Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq movement], and Falih al-Fayyadh [the head of al-Aqd al-Watani (National Contract) bloc, to participate in the national majority government, without al-Maliki, but they refused."
"The forces of the Coordination Framework said that their visit with al-Hannana is contingent upon Al-Maliki's participation in the government. We said: as you wish."
"The national majority government is a demand of the political forces. The people are not satisfied with the former governments."
"The [Coordination] Framework rejected combating corruption at the moment. One of its leaders said it will make the prisons crowded."
"The Marja'iyah is disappointed with the politicians," he added, "some parties are sullying the good name of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces-PMF). We want to organize it."
