Maliki's coalition talks about MPs resignations: it is pressure to get demands opposed to the public interest
MPs of Motahedoun coalition and the National Dialogue Front have announced their resignations to the parliament speaker in protest against the recent developments in Anbar, in a sign of escalating political and security tensions in the country.
The leader of state of law coalition , Ali al-Alaq told “Shafaq News ", that "The resignations are not real , it is a political pressure to get certain demands ," noting that “ these resignations have not been submitted in a formal way to the parliament. "
On the impact of these resignations to the work of the parliament scheduled to hold a meeting on the fourth of next month , Alaq added " these resignations will not affect to the work of the parliament if the quorum is complete , even if the sessions were not run by the parliament speaker, there are deputies able to run meetings for deliberation and voting on decisions mission. "
He pointed out that "Iraq is the honor battle against terrorism and anyone who support it is a traitor to the country “.
The MPs resignation came on the back ground of Anbar events after the Iraqi security forces ended the existing sit-in that continued for nearly a year .
Iraqi authorities say that they have broke up the sit-ins in Anbar because it has become a haven for al-Qaeda militants .
Clashes erupted between gunmen and security forces in Ramadi and Fallujah, while Sunni clerics called for county residents to defend themselves and cut roads in front of the army’s supply.
10 civilians were killed and 20 others were injured, according to medical sources .
The sit-in began about a year ago in a protest that has been considered by protestors as marginalizing of Sunnis by the government of Prime Minister , Nuri al-Maliki .
Violence has intensified this year after al Qaeda-linked insurgents targeted the government and all they see support of it, which raised concerns of renewed sectarian conflict that had killed tens of thousands in 2006 and 2007.
