Mr Mikati, who is a Sunni Muslim, insisted on Monday that his initial decision to delay The Time change until 20 April to " relieve" those fasting during Ramadan had not been for " sectarian reasons" adding: " A decision like this should not have triggered such sectarian responses. "
He blamed The Deep political and religious divisions that have resulted in parliament being unable to agree on a new president Since October and a caretaker cabinet with limited powers being left to run The country.
" The Problem is not summer Time or winter Time . . The Problem is The presidential vacuum. "
