Cairo: Egypt’s military council, which handed powers to an Islamist president last month, held an emergency meeting on Sunday to discuss a presidential decree ordering the dissolved parliament to reconvene, Egyptian media reported on Sunday.
Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi on Sunday ordered the return of the country’s Islamist-dominated parliament that was dissolved by the powerful military.
It said the meeting was headed by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who leads the council that had governed Egypt after Hosni Mubarak’s overthrow last year.
The generals met to “study and discuss the repercussions of President Mohamed Mursi’s decision to reconvene parliament,” the report added.
