Saleh Mutlaq held a meeting with the director of the Abdul-Qader Gilani shrine regarding providing services for the Iraqi people who are awaiting positive action by the new government. He said we must be fair with the Iraqi people, continuing that we must start all over since the dark days are over. The Iraqi Deputy PM said the future is bright and conditions will improve.
“We want to bring hope for the Iraqi civilian, and say the Iraqis’ dark days are over,” Saleh Mutlaq said in an interview. “Hopefully, bright days will be awaiting the Iraqi people in the near future. I would like to say here that no one should expect everything to be resolved in a short period. The wounds are deep and problems many. However, I can say that matters are heading in a right and positive direction. We pledge once again to the children of our nation that we are determined, and we shall endeavor with our utmost will. I want to say that we do not have personal interests, we will do anything we can for you.”
