(AP) ? Egypt's opposition says it will keep up protests against a referendum on a disputed draft constitution but has stopped short of advocating either a boycott or a "no" less than a week before voting.

The opposition was still pushing Sunday for Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to cancel the Dec. 15 referendum, saying they reject the process entirely.

The referendum plan has sparked some of the bloodiest clashes between Morsi supporters and opponents since he came to power in June.

The National Salvation Front, an umbrella opposition group of liberal and leftist parties, warned that holding the referendum in such atmosphere will lead to more strife. It called for another massive rally on Tuesday.

It accused Morsi of driving the country toward violent clashes.
