Baghdad – Head of Iraq's Sadr movement Muqtada al-Sadr has called for peaceful coexistence among all Iraqis nearly one week after US troop pullout from the Middle Eastern country.

According to Press TV, associates of Sadr gave Iraqi media a 14-point proposal titled “Peace Code” on Saturday.

The proposal, which is written by Sadr himself, urges all Iraqis to respect the country's different ethnic groups, faiths and sects. It also warns against the spilling of Iraqi blood.

“It is the best solution, to reject all kinds of violence and to preserve the Iraqi people from internal and external attacks,” said Sadr aide Salah al-Obeidi.

Some 500 politicians, scholars, lawmakers, tribal leaders and academics have so far agreed to the proposal.
