Cairo: Egypt's opposition Tamarod movement which led nationwide protests against President Mohammed Morsi has given the Islamist leader a deadline of Tuesday to resign, threatening a campaign of civil disobedience if he stays.
"We give Mohamed Morsi until 5:00 pm (1500 GMT) on Tuesday July 2 to leave power, allowing state institutions to prepare for early presidential elections," Tamarod said in a statement on its website.
Otherwise, "Tuesday, 5:00 pm will be the beginning of a complete civil disobedience campaign," it said.
It was behind Sunday's protests that saw millions of people take to the streets demanding his departure on the first anniversary of his inauguration as president.
It urged "state institutions including the army, the police and the judiciary to clearly side with the popular will as represented by the crowds" on Sunday.
"There is no alternative other than the peaceful end of power of the Muslim Brotherhood and its representative, Mohamed Morsi."
