Baghdad / Iraq News Network Change parliamentary bloc said on Thursday that a "code of conduct of Deputies passed hastily in yesterday 's session, and it did not focus on the need to compel the Attorney stay away from sectarian remarks . "

He said mass Prime Hoshyar Abdullah said in a statement today: "yesterday saw discuss a very important issue included on the agenda of the House agenda for the code of parliamentary behavior, was voted to the code by the Board, but according to our opinion , there were things is very important we were hoping to be included in the blog post discussed extensively, and for more than once asked the President of the Council giving us the opportunity to speak, but was unfortunately passed hastily unjustified, so I would like to pay tribute to some of the things that have been overlooked in the blog . "

He added that" we believe that one of the most important issues that are related to the issue of parliamentary behavior is the extent of MP 's commitment to speech National and maintain peaceful coexistence and to stay away from inciting sectarian strife and racism, it is unfortunate that hardly a day goes by we do not hear it charged remarks intolerance ugly and the spirit of hatred by some , whether via satellite or even in this press release, or even within the parliament status screens, and according to our opinion , the this negative situation turned into a partisan, political and parliamentary phenomenon was better for us to put an end to it through a code of Deputies behavior, this never means compromising freedom of expression , but we are with that the parliament will be the starting point of views and discussions seriousness and actors that are in the homeland and the citizen 's interest, and not be an incitement to the fragmentation of society . "

he continued , " I believe that the House of Representatives is not a classroom where the House of Representatives is committed to silence, it is also the case in parliaments around the world a platform to exchange views and varied or quarreled different among themselves, but provided that they are in favor of the cohesion of Iraqi society more and not vice versa, as must convey differences Iraqi street to parliament rather than to export our differences to the street ".

ohdd Abdullah that" parliamentary behavior should not be reduced to some superficial things because it is much deeper than that, especially since it reflects the qualities that must have the MP - elect through his speech and his views and his work , which must be on the Iraqi human service first, we have tried to suggest a formula obliges MPs to adopt a national speech and stay away from any incitement of sectarian intentional or unintentional, and that our commitment to the oath which Rddnah, but unfortunately confiscated our right to make our opinion on this important subject . "the House of Representatives voted yesterday on a code of conduct of Deputies.
