Al-Obaidi stressed during the meeting, "that the Iraqi law, which the Ministry of Interior is one of the tools for its implementation and imposition of respect, must be applied to everyone without exception," noting that "the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee supports all measures implemented by the Ministry of Interior to implement the law."
