His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa received at Gudaibiya Palace today senior officials, businessmen, intellectuals, media persons, journalists and citizens. He stressed that Bahrain is subject to conspiracies which are doomed to failure thanks to the Bahraini people's awareness and patriotism. He pointed out that the unacceptable violations committed during Ashoora season were one form of those failed conspiracies, adding that Bahrain is fine under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and will remain so thanks to unity and cohesion of its people. He noted that Bahrain will continue to stand out with its openness as well as religious and intellectual freedom which are protected despite attempts to exploit freedom to undermine security, drive wedges and sow sedition.

HRH the Premier denounced all forms of behaviour that are alien to the ethics of the Bahraini people, describing them as desperate attempts to jeopardise security and national unity. He lauded the one-family spirit characterising the Bahraini community and cohesion shown mainly when unity is at stake.
