Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Interior of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, recently denounced the plan of some wicked people to hold demonstrations in the Kingdom to undermine the country’s security and stability.

He said the Saudi leadership and people deserve praise and congratulations for a noble stand against such evil elements.

Speaking about the recent calls for demonstrations in the Kingdom, he said those who intended to hold protest marches this past Friday wanted to create chaos and confusion in the country. “But they have proved that they do not know the people of Saudi Arabia. Our people have proved to the whole world the unity and cohesion among them and the Saudi leadership. Saudis are a faithful and loyal people fashioned by the character and manners of Islam and I congratulate King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and Crown Prince Sultan for this,” he added.

He said King Abdullah was very much impressed by the noble stand taken by the Saudi people. “They have shown to the entire world that the government has strong support of its people.”

“Our people are united with their leadership as one nation clinging to their constitution, the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of Prophet (pbuh). We cannot thank the Saudi noble people enough.” Prince Naif thanked all Saudi people as well as the Council of Senior Islamic Scholars, headed by Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Aal Al-Sheikh, for standing by the Saudi leadership and giving a strong reply to the instigators.
