On August 24, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) published six excerpts in quick succession accusing Falih al-Fayyadh of disrespecting parliament, putting personal interests before 220,000 PMF personnel and causing the PMF law to stall. Speakers Habib al-Quraishi and Mohammed al-Zaidawi called for parliamentary questioning, while al-Zaidawi described nonattendance as potentially rebellious or culpable and said military regulations should apply; iNEWS (KSS — affiliated media) subsequently carried al-Sadhan’s narrower call to make passage of the law a priority during the current parliamentary term.

“Parliament should prepare a comprehensive “questioning” dossier on al-Fayyadh... the PMF law is “stalled” because of him... preferring “personal interests” at the expense of the rights of 220,000 members... al-Fayyadh’s failure to attend parliament warrants applying military regulations against him.”
على البرلمان إعداد ملف "استجواب" شامل للفياض... قانون الحشد "متعطل" بسببه... تفضيل "المصالح الشخصية" على حساب حقوق 220 ألف منتسب... عدم حضور الفياض إلى البرلمان يستوجب تطبيق النظام العسكري بحقه

“Passing the PMF law should be a priority during the current parliamentary term.”
اقرار قانون الحشد الشعبي يجب أن يكون أولوية خلال الدورة النيابية الحالية
The divergence separates cross-network support for passing the PMF law from AAH media’s substantially sharper treatment of the PMF chairman; KSS media did not reproduce the accusations or disciplinary demands in this window.
