Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi wanted to exclude Halabja governorate from 2018 federal budget, Kurdish MP Ahmed Naji Rasheed announced on Saturday.

In a statement, Rasheed added that Halabja was included in the budget of 2015,2016 and 2017 while Abadi wants to exclude it now.

This came after Abadi met with representatives of Kurdish blocs in the Iraqi Parliament to discuss the 2018 budget.

Rasheed also vowed to present Abadi all documents which prove that Halabja was always part of the federal budget.
