The serial of weakening of the state must stop, Saad Hariri exclaimed in a phone call to Speaker Berri today.

Commenting on Hassan Nasrullah's Mashghara speech, Hariri retorted that the cleric must not boast of party substituting the Lebanese state and in all fields.

Hariri, who boarded with Berri the firing of rockets into Southern Beirut, condemned the incident and stressed need for preventing similar future eventualities. He urged politicians to feel responsible enough to avert turning the Lebanese into fodder for civil or religious strife.
