Bahrain Mirror: Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim questioned the so-called "Reform Train" heralded by government press after the new prime minister assumed his position last November.

"Where is the reform train whose rapid launch government press have confirmed in the Prime Minister's preliminary speeches?" Sheikh Isa Qassim tweeted.

He wondered "was it all a promotion or mere words? Was its essence so shameful that he preferred to back down? Or was it meant to misguide but he discovered its uselessness and inability to deceive?"

Sheikh Qassim concluded his statement by saying "no matter who promised reform, people will not stop demanding comprehensive and sincere reform.
