Iraqi Shia political leader Muqtada al-Sadr called on Saturday for mass protests in the case that a parliamentary session, meant to vote for a new Iraqi cabinet, gets canceled or does not achieve forming a government.


In a statement posted on his Twitter account, al-Sadr said that the first mission of the new Iraqi cabinet should be conducting early elections.
