Manama, Oct. 9. (BNA) – His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa has urged all government departments to take the necessary measures to implement the recommendations issued by the National Assembly and apply the law strictly and firmly.

He stressed that in line with the Royal desire and the will of the people of Bahrain, state departments have no other option but to implement the recommendations “directly and immediately” so that every citizens feels secure in his daily life.

This came as HRH Premier chaired here today a security and civil meeting in which he reviewed the security situation in the kingdom, especially regarding combating terrorism.

He emphasised that violence, terrorism and involvement in providing cover for groups of saboteurs who aim to undermine the kingdom’s security, stability and hard-won achievements cannot, as proved throughout history, create a reform-friendly environment.

Embracing violence, adopting political sectarianism and resorting to foreign sides can only lead to an environment that is hostile to reform and real progress, he explained.

HRH Premier stressed that whoever abstains from renouncing violence and repudiating perpetrators openly and firmly is not eligible enough to talk about reform, democracy and serious desire to bring about real development.

He pointed out that whoever rejects national consensus and engages in some practices to exert pressure in order to earn narrow gains lacks seriousness, will to enhance all-inclusive national work and credibility.

HRH Prime Minister affirmed that the government has the right to ensure that all sides, including political associations, adhere to the laws regulating political work in the kingdom.

He stressed that practising political work transparently and according to legal norms is a basic requirement in order to ensure its legitimacy and protect its principles. ..source
