CAIRO: The Muslim Brotherhood called for deputy Prime Minister Ali el-Selmy's dismissal if his document on supra-constitutional principles was approved Wednesday. The brotherhood stressed that if the document was accepted, it would call for the dismissal of the whole government, saying the document represents a threat to Egyptian internal security. In its statement, entitled "Prevent Discord,” the Brotherhood said national powers would never allow a small minority to impose their will on the Egyptian people to achieve personal or partisan interests. "After the political arena started to calm down and the political powers started to conduct measures for parliamentary elections, Ali el-Selmy called the political powers to agree on constitutional articles to set standards for institutional society compulsory for Egyptians," the statement read. The Brotherhood refused the document as a coup against the constitutional referendum and the constitutional declaration. It said Article No. 60 of the Constitutional Declaration provides that the elected members of the Peoples' Assembly and Shura Council shall choose the institutional committee. According to the statement, Selmy's document violates Egyptian rights to elect the institutional committee and wastes democracy and the peoples' will. Item 9 of the document gives the Armed Forces the right to protect a civil state and the constitution. The army would be satisfied by the policy and make it supra-constitutional one, according to the statement. The statement said that a minority aims to impose its will on the people, and sacrifices all the major objectives for which the peoples demonstrated.
