Subhī Sālih, a member of parliament from the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), said there are some attempts to spark a falling out between youths in al-Tahrīr Square and parliament on one hand and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) on the other.
“Throwing bottles at members of the Muslim Brotherhood during their celebration of the first anniversary of the January 25, 2011 revolution was an intrigue concocted by losers in the elections,” Sālih said in statements.
He said it was the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) that protected the revolution and al-Tahrīr Square and it was the Muslim Brotherhood that protected the demonstrators on the day of the Camel Battle.
Sālih warned of a plan to cause division. “The Muslim Brotherhood would not be involved in conflicts with anyone simply because we seek preserving the interests of this country,” he said.
He noted that the Brotherhood would keep on enduring any harms just like they did for 82 years. “The group members will remain tolerating tough situation and we’ll be observing utmost patience with the Egyptian people.” [Fātimah ‘Abd al-Bāsit, al-Akhbār, Jan. 30, p. 6]
