MP Abul vows unfaltering defense of Kuwait

GENEVA, Feb 3 (KUNA) -- Member of the Kuwaiti parliamentary caucus MP Dr. Khalil Abul affirmed on Saturday that he and his fellow legislators would not be complacent in defending the country at international quarters.
Members of the Kuwaiti caucus held a meeting with officials of the human rights committee of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), in coordination with the Chair Gabriela Barron, to discuss complaints delivered to the IPU against the Kuwaiti parliament, he said on sidelines of a meeting that grouped Speaker Marzouq Ali Al-Ghanim and Barron, late on Friday.
The discussions tackled protests forwarded by the Israeli Knesset against the Kuwaiti parliamentary caucus and charges that the Kuwaiti parliament had taken anti-Semitic stances.
They also dealt with a complaint filed by the former MP, Abdulhamid Dashti, concerning his lifted parliamentary immunity as well as protests by another lawmaker, Shuaib Al-Mwaizri.
MP Abul said such complaints are tantamount to protests against the State of Kuwait, rather than "a parliament, institution or individual." (end) ta.rk
