Former National Democratic Party (NDP) member Mostafa al-Fiqi said he was threatened after quitting the NDP. Mostafa al-Fiqi, former head of Shura Council's foreign affairs committee, explained he received threats on his phone from unknown individuals after he officially left the party. Mostafa al-Fiqi had a wrangle with Information Minister Anas al-Fiqi during a talk show aired on privately-owned Mehwar TV channel on Monday. Anas al-Fiqi accused Mostafa al-Fiqi of being ‘hesitant' while acknowledging that formerly, he had always supported the NDP's decisions and defended the party, but had recently proven his disloyalty. “Everyone knows I'm independent,” added Anas al-Fiqi. “I'm not of those who praise authority and change their stances when they're out.” “We'll see what minister Anas al-Fiqi says when he leaves office. I appreciate what he currently endures,” retorted Mostafa al-Fiqi.
