A readout of al-Kadhimi's office said that the Prime Minister exchanged with the demonstrators' representatives views on the situation in the governorate and Iraq in general.
Al-Kadhimi said that the demonstrators' demands are not beyond his government's aspirations and efforts, stressing that it is determined to protect the public demands by holding the early elections and achieve sustainable development to secure proper sustenance, social justice and decent living.
