HOLY NAJAF, Iraq: Iraq's revered Al-Marje’ Al-A`ala
Sayyed Ali Al-Husseini As-Sistani has called on Iraqis to endorse the
new constitution in Saturday's referendum after political leaders
agreed on amendments aimed at winning the backing of all.
Aides of the Marje’ based at the shrines of Holy Najaf and Karbala
conveyed the statement.
“Anyone who contacts the grand Ayatullah's office is told that he
instructs Iraqis to vote 'yes'” in Saturday's crucial vote, said an
official from his office in Holy Najaf – home to the holy shrine of
Al-Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (p).
Political leaders announced on Wednesday some modifications to the
constitution and an agreement to consider further revisions after new
elections in December.
His representative in the holy city of Karbala Sayed Ahmed Safi said:
“The Iraqi faithful must go to the polling stations to vote in favor
of the test after the changes approved on Wednesday which eliminate
all the arguments” against the constitution.
It is Ayatullah Sistani’s most direct show of support for the charter
and it is expected to carry great weight with Iraqis.
