Khashan: Al-Sadr Called For Demonstrations To Achieve One Of Two Results
Earth News/ The independent deputy, Basem Khashan, said today, Wednesday, that the demonstrations called for by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, aim to achieve one of two results.
Khashan wrote in a Facebook post, which was followed by Earth News, saying, “On 7/27/2022, Mr. Al-Sadr objected to the nomination of Representative Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, and he was not thinking about requesting the dissolution of the House of Representatives, because such a request was from the leader of a bloc that withdrew from the parliament.” Of her own free will and was able to dissolve the council in accordance with the Constitution is frowned upon and unacceptable. He had no other goal, so Al-Sadr expelled his followers and occupied the council and brought with them goods and beasts for a long stay in it only to disrupt this candidacy.
He added, “Four days after the council’s occupation, Mr. Al-Sadr realized that the way forward was blocked, and that the withdrawal and retreat would bring back memories of 2016, and it would be a disaster for his current, so what is the way out of this impasse?” To find a justification for his withdrawal, and therefore he called on all Iraqis to support his revolution, which he claimed aims to radically change the system, the constitution and the elections, although in fact he does not want that and does not seek it, because he knows that changing the system and the constitution can only take place through a coup that breaks the country apart, and he knows that elections It took place in accordance with the law written by Sairoon, and it will not be accepted to change it at all.”
Khashan added that “the purpose of this lawsuit was to achieve one of two results. The first is that the street does not respond to it, so this would be a justification for his withdrawal, according to what he concluded his tweet with: (If you miss the opportunity [as they missed it in 2016], do not blame me)”, indicating “The second result is that the street responds, and al-Sadr gets himself out of his predicament, and puts the protesters in it after carrying them with the impossible demands to change the regime and the constitution, which he abandoned one day after their demonstration in Nisour Square.”
And he indicated that, “In this way, Mr. Al-Sadr can demand the dissolution of the council and claim that it is the demand of the people, because he will be the leader of his followers and the leader of the protesters at the same time, and not the head of the leader of a bloc that withdrew of its own volition and it is not accepted from it to demand the dissolution of the council after it gave up this option that was available to it.” And it was very possible before the resignation,” stressing that “Al-Sadr’s tweet is nothing more than a search for a safe exit, and our comrades have prepared for him, thankfully, this exit and more!”
