The Salafi Nour Party proposed on Monday a new initiative to replace the roadmap which Major General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi put forward last week.

The initiative is based on forming a national reconciliation committee to be approved by the armed forces and all political movements, the party said in a statement.

The party explained it initially approved of the roadmap because it was trying to end the bloodshed and maintain the state's identity, the Middle East News Agency reported.

The roadmap's steps did not stop the bloodshed, the party stated, adding that these steps even worsened matters by shutting down religious television channels with no legal basis and filming prominent figures as the police arrested them.

The party also accused Interim President Adli Mansour of acting in a dictator-like manner and siding with an intellectual current that finds little approval among Egyptians.
