The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Thursday advised the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) to tie the restoration of NATO supplies with the release of Pakistani scientist Dr Afia Siddiqui, while impressing upon the US and the international community to help resolve the Kashmir dispute with India.
Sardar Mehtab Khan Abbasi, who is representing the PML-N in the PCNS, put forth his party’s recommendations as it ended its three-day boycott of the committee over jacked up fuel prices in the country. He also told the meeting that he would consult his party’s leadership on the proposals finalised by the committee so far in his absence. Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rahman reiterated his party’s stance against the restoration of NATO supplies.
Later, PCNS Chairman Senator Raza Rabbani rubbished the reports that the PCNS had succumbed to foreign pressure while forming recommendations on Pakistan’s new terms of engagement with the United States. Talking to reporters after the PCNS meeting, Rabbani said the committee was undertaking a very complicated and time-consuming job, and it was working independently in accordance with national priorities. He said the parliament might further amend the PCNS’ recommendations. He said the government was competent to extend the ongoing joint session of the parliament to allow more time to the PCNS to complete its recommendations. He added that the PML-N member was briefed on what the committee had discussed in the last three days, and hoped that the recommendations would be finalised in the next couple of days.

  1. America is not fighting the war of her country , behind the curtain the clever India is doing every thing and Obama,s vision is totally in dark and india is using America like a foolish child, otherwise in reality Pakistan has done nothing aginst America,a single evidence not possible for america to provide.This shows americans are stupid in this world and the brains are not orderely working, like india is using for its own agenda to destroy Pakistan on American donkeys.Now the america should think with its own brains and not target the muslims world in future to improve the image, Pakistan lost billions of dollars and sacrified the lives and worked day and night for america and america is trying to destroy pakistan for india which is in fact a foe of america. America should help to solve the problem of kashmir then whole south asia will be in peace.

  2. These persons are using us. They have always been doing so. This specific party continued scathing attacks on Pakistan. They never proved themselves as an opposition. Their each statement represents their self centered intentions…

    They just need their empire and for that they are playing with the whole nation
