Columnist Ahmed Said discusses the initiative launched by parties of the JMP for the comprehensive political and national reform saying it represents an ideological activity and political movement none can deny or ignore. To affirm his opinion he cites the ferocious media attack on it. He says the value of the initiative can be understood through reactions and that have raised its importance and asset. This means that now the ball is at the court of the General People's Congress. It cannot deny or ignore and it has two options only, either the rejection or engagement in discussion and dialogue with the opposition parties that launched the initiative. In both cases the GPC bears the responsibility of its stand.
The writer believes that the initiative has dealt with very important issues and prescribed remedies for disorders in the state structure from which the ruling party and opposition have complained. Leadership of the ruling party should not evade from dialogue about it because wasting time is against the homeland interest.
The writer adds it is a sound stance for the GPC to give the initiative a space in the agenda of the party's 7th conference to be held in the mid of this month so that to reflect its attitude towards it. The ruling party is the one that gains more of the initiative's fruits as much as its stance was positive and bears its losses if it could not comprehend others' stands and in this case it would convey the concept of comprehensive reform to a more developed stand and a deeper demand.
