Berlin, Dhu-AlHijjah 26, 1436, Oct 10, 2015, SPA -- German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel chided the southern state of Bavaria for threatening to file a lawsuit with Germany's top court over migrant arrivals, telling top-selling tabloid Bild that it would only incite panic and not solve anything, dpa reported. "Neither prayers nor stirring up panic or anxiety help," Gabriel, who chairs the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government, told Bild's Saturday edition. "And definitely not the tough talk coming from the CSU," he said, referring to Bavaria's Christian Social Union, the sister party of Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The unity of Merkel's conservative political bloc has been strained in recent weeks by record waves of migrants streaming over Germany's borders, and Bavaria has been vocal in its opposition to the chancellor's open-border policy. --SPA 13:41 LOCAL TIME 10:41 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
