Al-Mashnouq: Hizbullah Ministers Should Quit ‘Cabinet of Treason’
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةAl-Mustaqbal MP Nohad al-Mashnouq called on Hizbullah ministers to quit their posts in the cabinet, saying there can’t be Hizbullah members in the government at a time when the party’s militants are wanted for involvement in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s murder.
The Hizbullah ministers should quit “until the truth” is found in Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination, he said.
During a conference held by al-Mustaqbal movement in Baaloul in the Bekaa valley on Sunday, the lawmaker said “a government can’t achieve justice as long as it has ministers of a party whose members are accused of involvement in Hariri’s killing.”
He dubbed Premier Najib Miqati’s cabinet as a government of “treason” and said its policy statement was “an attack on our political dignity and on Rafik Hariri in his grave.”
Mashnouq also slammed Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat for participating in “the political coup” against former Premier Saad Hariri’s cabinet in January.
Miqati is an “essential partner” in the alleged coup, he added.
Mr Mashnouk ,
Hezb ministers are here to stay , this government is solid and its members are united . See you in 2013 !
And since when Mashnouq was taken seriously by anybody? He is just another flip-flopper that flip-flops according to the size of the check that he receives. Heard that one before? Well, Mafia Hariri pays, and pays good. But then why not? US has billions to expend on its stooges and the most criminal of all countries, Israel.
While I am no fan of Hizbollah, Mr. al-Mashnouq seems to have missed the point that the inditements are against 4 individuals not a group, party or sect.
@Bashir
True. But those 4 individuals ALL belong to the same group, and are therefore linked to the HA Ministers who also belong to this group. It is no coincidence that all 4 indicted are Members of 1 group... It is one STRONG, COMMON characteristic... This cannot be overseed...
