A Saairun Alliance MP denied on Sunday any intention form her party's side to overthrow the government of Adil Abd al-Mahdi, noting that it works to support and strengthen the government.

Saairun aims to "support the government of Abd al-Mahdi, work on strengthening it and correcting the mistakes of the past," MP Anam Khuzaie said, adding: "if there had been an intention of Saairun to overthrow Abd al-Mahdi secretly, it (the party) would have [worked] on it from the first day."

Khuzaie said that the program of Saairun Alliance "is based on the basis of building the state properly," stressing that "this does not mean to turn a blind eye to corruption or a defect that exists at any ministry."
