MB deny allegations printed in Dostor newspaper by El-Baradei
Dr. Saad Katatni of the Muslim Brotherhood parliamentary bloc and the Executive Bureau, denied allegations by the Dostor newspaper about an interview with Dr. Mohamed El-Baradei published in the French magazine "Paris Match" concerning the Muslim Brotherhood.
The magazine had cited that during its interview with Dr. Mohamed El-Baradei the ‘could be presidential candidate’ had claimed that he convinced the popular Muslim Brotherhood to continue working for justice, democracy and a secular state and practice religion away from other citizens without suppressing others in their religious freedoms.
In a statement to ‘Ikhwanweb’ Katatni argued that the Muslim Brotherhood have not and will not change their principle of calling for a democratic civil state with Islamic references rather than a religious state as others have inaccurately alleged. Katatni stressed that he had phoned El-Baradei’s brother Dr. Ali El-Baradei who was present during the meeting between the Muslim Brotherhood delegation which included himself and El-Baradei to clear the report and correct the claims. He called on El-Baradei to issue a statement to deny the incorrect allegations printed in the Destour newspaper highlighting that the group have never changed their principle and will continue in their cause.
