SANA'A, Dec. 12)Sheikh Abduklmajid Al-Zindani, Chairman of the Islah party Shoura Council criticized on Monday 12 December newspapers that described as fishing in troubled waters. Some newspaper had earlier talked of disputes between Al-Zindani and Head of the Political Office of the Islah Party Mohammed Qahtan.

Al-Zindani called on those writers to appreciate the status of their pens and to adhere to truthfulness and verify fact in their writings so that they would not be as creating problems and a cause of them. He has indicated that difference is a habitual practice in life. In his statement to Sahwanet website published Tuesday, he added, “we refer what happen of differences to the Islah institutions and that would not affect the religion fraternity and Muslims rights.”

Sheikh Al-Zindani has also renewed his condemnation of the threats against Mr Qahtan during the Eid Al-Fitr holiday when he received a letter from an unknown source, describing that threat as criminal way prohibited in Islam.

On his part, Mr Mohammed Qahtan has confirmed what Sheikh Al-Zindani has mentioned about Islah members of seeking a decision from the Islah party institutions and that difference in opinion does not harm friendship.

Newspapers had earlier talked about threats against the leader in the Islah party Mohammed Qahtan who had held security authorities directly responsible for that. They had also talked of Al-Zindani's criticism of statements made by Mr Qahtan against Al-Zindani about the existence of some women as being better than Al-Zindani.
