MP Waddah Sadek wrote on the "X" platform: "The safety of my family in Tariq Jdideh is more important than the interests of a minority that sows corruption in the region. They launch a campaign of insults against me for no reason, and change my words to mislead people."

"I lived all my childhood and youth in Tariq Jdideh, where my brother fell as a martyr and where my family still lives to this day," Sadek noted.

 "I won't stop until security is restored in my region and throughout Beirut," he concluded.

Waddah Sadek was the target of a "ferocious campaign" after writing on his account on the "X" platform: "A gun-free Beirut, a slogan of his campaign for years, because the capital which welcomes Lebanese from all regions, in addition to the majority of the state's official and international institutions, should not be a breeding ground for weapons."

MP Wadah had responded to the speech by Jamaa Islamia's Deputy Secretary General, who attacked Beirut MPs as negligent MPs.

"A weapons-free Beirut is the starting point for solving the weapons problem in Lebanon," he asserted.

"I see in what is going on nothing but a campaign of systematic exclusion, proud of an imaginary excess of power. The smear campaign to which I and my fellow MPs from the capital, notably MPs Ibrahim Mneimneh and Fouad Makhzoumi, have been subjected, is rejected, and it is the duty of Dar al-Fatwa today to control speech that exceeds all religious and moral limits," he explained.
