Abd al-Mahdi says will submit resignation to parl't
Prime
Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi on Friday said he would submit an official letter to
the House of Representatives requesting his resignation.
Abd
al-Mahdi said he listened very carefully to the speech of the Supreme Religious
Marja on Friday urging the parliament to convene an urgent meeting to withdraw
confidence from the parliament.
He
referred to the clear "deficit" of the relevant authorities to deal
with the updates in the past two months in a way that ends the bloodshed and
save rights.
"In
response to this call and to facilitate and accelerate its implementation as
soon as possible, I will submit to the Council of Representatives the official
letter requesting the resignation of the current government so that the Council
can reconsider its options."
