Dubai: Muammar Gaddafi's proposal to the newly established National Transitional Council (NTC) was rejected according to Mustafa Abdul Jalil, ex-justice minister and chief of the revolutionaries in Libya.
In a telephone interview, Abdul Jalil told Gulf News that NTC, the sole representative of revolutionaries, has rejected a proposal to hold General People's Assembly for Gaddafi to announce his resignation as the leader of Jamahriya.
Gaddafi has constantly claimed that he has no authoritative post in Libya and all what he does since 1977 was supervise the performance of the People's Assemblies and commission in different provinces and offer his advice to members of the cabinet and take part in setting up strategic policies.
Abdul Jalil said while Gaddafi was pushing his militia and mercenary forces to recapture some cities in the east of Sirte and Zawiyah, in the west of Tripoli his convoys were proposing a bail out for Gaddafi.
He refused to give details of the proposal but stressed that there will be no talks with Gaddafi, before he and his sons and daughters resign from all their posts.
A member of the NTC told Gulf News that the crux of the proposal was to call for General People's Assembly to convene and for Gaddafi to resign and leave the country.
"The council discussed the proposal and rejected it. Some members were in favour of allowing Gaddafi to leave but not before resigning. Others vowed to take Gaddafi to court for crimes he has committed during his 42-year rule of Libya," Khalid Yousuf told Gulf News.
He said no one can trust Gaddafi. "The head of the snake must be cut to make sure that it will not bite again. With the money the man has stolen from Libya, he would remain a source of instability wherever he goes. The good thing is that the man and his family have realised that they cannot stay any more in Libya. The bad thing is that the pressure exerted on him has not reached the limit of forcing him to flee the country or commit suicide in Bab Al Ziziyah Camp," Yousuf said.
Yousuf said there is a big section among the revolutionaries who want to take any offer that helps in stopping bloodshed.
"Gaddafi is ready to kill any number of Libyans. He is equal to Hitler in the scale of Libya. He has no relations with the people and has no mercy for them. He never thought that he was ruling a respectable nation. All his projects were self-centric and he was always busy with the idea of immortality and would do anything that will keep his name engraved in the history, bad or good doesn't matter."
But Abdul Jalil hinted that if Gaddafi resigns and agrees to leave the country under certain conditions, then the revolutionaries might think of dropping criminal charges against him.
Yousuf said Gaddafi story has become complicated with the UN Security Council resolution 1970 and the ruling of the International Criminal Court to investigate his crimes and his family members against humanity.
