Shafaq News/ A member of the House of Representatives from Basra Governorate, Zahra Al-Bajari, expressed, on Sunday, her rejection of the legislation of the compulsory conscription (flag service) law because of the damage it had on Iraq throughout the previous eras, in addition to the financial costs of its application, which amount to two billion dollars, proposed at the same time. Legislation of the "compulsory employment" law instead to accommodate unemployed youth.

Why are the salaries of lecturers and contractors in the ministries paid?
And she added, "Most of the arguments for approving this law are flimsy and illogical. Our youth is a jihadist and jealous, not a liquor. Drugs have other solutions, and most of our youth are believers and good people, and the battlefields of jihad against ISIS have witnessed them."
Al-Bajari called for the enactment of the compulsory employment law and the establishment of the Great Port of Faw and the Silk Road instead of forced conscription because they eliminate unemployment and have a great economic return for the country, unlike the law of forced conscription, which robs the citizen of his opinion and freedom, adding, "Enough with the militarization of the people, we are tired of the absurd wars in the time of the Baathist regime. ".

Committee member Hussain Al-Amiri told Shafak News Agency, "The adoption of the budget will solve many problems, including the compulsory service law, which addresses the problem of unemployment in society and is an alternative to volunteering," explaining that "there is an intention to approve the compulsory conscription law in the current parliamentary session." .
