He stated to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com) “We will not remain as spectators towards the illogical performance of some political sides who ignored us as partners in the political process and went on in their project to withdraw confidence from Maliki.”

“The SLC attempted many times to calm down the tensions and called for holding the national conference, yet, some blocs insisted on toppling Maliki,” he added.
