Arms would be in the hands of the Lebanese state
During his tour of the al-Kharoub region on Saturday Jumblat said that March 14 Forces shall run in the elections as a single hand, he added that he had heard of some nominations via "asphalt bulldozers" – meaning through political favors made to gain voters support that include paving roads.
Jumbalt was keen to point that all arms would be in the hands of the Lebanese state one day. He paid high tribute to President Michel Suleiman for effectively leading the national dialogue sessions.
He also called for ending all internal issues, mostly that of the Council of the South. Jumblat denied press stories that he was harassed recently during his participation at the funeral of attorney Sanan Baraj at the Bashoura.
