The spokesman for Muslim Brotherhoods Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) in Egypt says the supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi demand the return of legitimacy,Press TVreports.You have seen millions of people are demonstrating for the return of legitimacy. Legitimacy means return of [ousted] President [Mohamed] Morsi, return of Shura Council (the Parliaments upper house), [and] return of the constitution. These are three demands, not our demands, not Islamists demands, it is peoples demands and it will take place soon or later, Hamza Zawbaatold Press TV on Wednesday.
They have to come back; we have to come back [to] the status before the coup; we have to return to normal life. No military interference in our political life [is what] we are asking, he added.
The comments come as the supporters of Morsi continue their protests against the army-backed interim government in Egypt.
On Wednesday, several hundred Morsi supporters gathered outside the cabinet headquarters in central Cairo and chanted slogans against the army and demanded the reinstatement of the ousted president.
Muslim Brotherhood supporters also accused the Egyptian military of having staged a coup against the countrys first democratically-elected leader.
Sporadic scuffles were reported between Egyptian police and the protesters on Wednesday.
The clashes come two days after seven people were killed and more than 200 wounded in fighting between Morsi loyalists and security forces in and around Cairo.
The troubled North African countrys new 34-member cabinet was recently sworn in.
Head of the Egyptian Armed Forces General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is the first deputy prime minister in the new cabinet. Nabil Fahmy, who was Egypts ambassador to Washington from 1999 to 2008, was named foreign minister. The new cabinet also includes three women and three Christians.
There are no ministers from the Muslim Brotherhood or other Islamic parties.
Tension has intensified since the Egyptian army pushed Morsi aside, suspended the constitution, dissolved the parliament on July 3 and declared the chief justice of Egypts Supreme Constitutional Court, Adli Mansour, as interim president the next day.
