Egypt's ousted president did not make mistake: Morsi's brother

Egypt's ousted President Mohamed Morsi did not make a mistake, brother of Morsi, Saeed Mohamed Morsi, told Xinhua on Thursday in an exclusive interview.

"He remained only one year in office, challenged by corrupted people and residues of the former regime who made every effort to block his way," he told Xinhua by phone from the northeast city of Zagazig.

The Egyptian president was sacked by the army on Wednesday. The generals put the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court in charge of Egypt for a transitional period and suspended the constitution.

"This is an obvious coup against Legitimacy and against the pulse of the Egyptian people," Saeed said.
