Hizbullah and Jamaa Islamiya Condemn Kalam al-Nas Episode, Accuse it of Provoking Strife

Hizbullah condemned on Saturday the latest episode of LBC's Kalam al-Nas, which it said provoked internal strife in Lebanon.

It said in a statement: "We strongly condemn what LBC has done and we consider it a deliberate encouragement of internal strife in Lebanon, especially between Shittes and Sunnis."

"It is a very bad use of public liberties and we call on the Lebanese judiciary and the responsible sides in the Information Ministry and National Council to assume their duties in tackling this media crime."

Jamaa Islamiya meanwhile also condemned the episode, also saying that it provoked sectarian sentiments and encouraged strife.

It added in a statement that the episode supported the people's resorting to arms and deliberately tarnished the history and current reality of the northern city of Tripoli.

It slammed "this irresponsible use of public liberties", reiterating Hizbullah's calls for legal action.
