BAGHDAD, June 4 (KUNA) -- Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki said he might have to resort to forming a majority government, if the coalition government he heads fails to build a secure and politically stable country.
"Iraq cannot handle the exaggeration of issues and people throwing responsibility on others. We are all responsible as of today," he said, speaking to attendees of a memorial service of the late leader of the Supreme Islamic Council, Mohammad Baqer Al-Hakim.
The prime minister called on political parties to believe in the principle of unity in leadership, and if not, for a majority to be a means of forming an Iraqi government. "Talk of rebuilding and tackling corruption should stem from a cohesive government," he noted.
Security breaches that happen in the country from time to time have not affected political life, he said, providing they were not launched on political grounds.
He accused remains of the Baath Party and Al-Qaeda, for being behind these incidents, saying they do not intend to see a stable Iraq of a growing democracy. (end) ahh.sd KUNA 041821 Jun 11NNNN[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
