Amman, April 26 (Petra) -- Jordanian political parties are unanimous in backing measures taken by the government against so-called Muslim Brotherhood, which recently sought to carry out criminal acts to foment chaos and threaten national security and stability.

The consensus is a collective awareness of the need to stand up against attempts to destabilize the Jordanian state, and underlines national unity in the face of challenges, they said.

In press releases, the parties applauded "the tremendous" efforts by security bodies, which "have proven their efficiency, professionalism and dedication in defending the country and dealing with threats."

The National Islamic Party noted "the efforts of the government and official and civil society bodies to maintain a strong internal front in these difficult times."

"When a serious security issue arises, i.e. making explosives, missiles, and drones inside Jordan, and forming cells by individuals of the so-called Muslim Brotherhood to threaten internal security, it warrants a firm security and political action to protect the stability of the state and prevent potential threats," it said.

The government's decision is within the political, legal, and realistic context with the aim of safeguarding security and stability, the key feature of the Jordanian state, it said.

The National Charter Party said it backed the government's measure to reinforce a judicial decision to ban and disband the so-called Muslim Brotherhood as an illegal group after a number of its members were proven to have engaged in acts to target Jordan's security and stability, undermine national unity and disrupt public order.

The party commended the armed forces and security bodies, namely the General Intelligence Depoartment, which "uncovered the subversive plot, including making explosives and destroying documents to hide suspicious affiliations."

The Irada Party said it stood by the Interior Ministry's move to enforce a 2020 Court of Cassation order that deemed so-called Muslim Brotherhood a disbanded entity with no legal status in the Kingdom, adding that respect of judicial orders is key to the rule of law and commending the legal approach in the issue.

The Blessed Land Party voiced it stood behind the government in enforcing the final judicial decision to disband the Muslim Brotherhood and shut its headquarters, calling it "a step in the right direction toward consolidating the rule of law, safeguarding the nation's security and stability, and blocking any attempt to bypass state institutions or circumvent the ground rules of legitimate political action."

It called on the government to enforce court rulings, confiscate the group's property, headquarters and financial assets, and prevent any attempt to regroup under other names or associations.

The Jordanian Social Democratic Party said political action "must be peaceful and open, not secret and armed," and backed the legal action, in its political context, to ban the group by a final court order.

The principle of rule of law requires everyone, individuals and groups, to adhere to court rulings, not violate them in any way, it stressed.
