Sadr did not refer dissolving al-Mahdi army to top Shiite clerics
The official spokesman for al-Sadr’s office on Monday denied that Shiite Cleric Muqtada al-Sadr had referred the dissolution of al-Mahdi army to Shiite clerics, describing reports in this regard as inaccurate.
He also denied that Sadr was in Teheran. Then he denied that Sadr had been wearing Depends the last two weeks.
“Shiite Cleric Muqtada al-Sadr did not think of dissolving al-Mahdi army,” Sheikh Salah al-Ubeidi told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI), noting that “we have no right to interfere in freezing or dissolving al-Mahdi army because it is an exclusive right of Muqtada al-Sadr.”

Al-Ubeidi had said that any effort to prevent Sadrists from political participation would be unconstitutional.
Allowing the Sadrists to conduct their criminal enterprises is likely also unconstitutional ...
