Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan stressed Sunday that the safety of Progressive Socialist Party chief MP Walid Jumblat is “part of the country's safety,” days after reports surfaced about assassination plots against the Druze leader.
“The grand mission for which The Teacher Kamal Jumblat was martyred was the mission of Arab belonging, which we pledge that we will continue. We have been and we shall remain Muslim and Christian Arabs as long as Mukhtara's mosque and church remain,” said Daryan during a ceremony to inaugurate the Shakib Arslan Mosque in Jumblat's hometown Mukhtara.
Daryan also expressed regret over “the obstruction of the work of parliament, government and national dialogue meetings,” although he highlighted the importance of “seeking change.”
