Baghdad, May 1 (IBNS) A day after Shia Muslim activists stormed into the country's parliament, clashed with police and broke the barricades of Baghdad's Green Zone, Iraq Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has ordered to arrest demonstrators, media reports said.

According to reports, the demonstrators were protesting against the delays in approving a new cabinet.

They are all supporters of cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr.

"Videos on social media showed a group of young men surrounding and slapping two Iraqi legislators as they attempted to flee the crowd, while other protesters mobbed motorcades," Aljazeera reported.

The protesters left the Parliament on Saturday night.
