Reports suggest that the session was postponed to a later time due to the tensions among the deputies. As the incident circulated on social media, many comments expressed regret, stating: "What happened in the Kurdistan Parliament can be described as a democracy of chaos. What a pathetic and entirely uncivilized scene. The parliament should be for the people, not a place for disorder or party interests. The people need deputies who fight for them, not for their personal or narrow party interests."
