MMA seeks debate on meeting with Sharon

Published September 17, 2005

ISLAMABAD Sept 16: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) on Friday submitted to the National Assembly’s secretariat two adjournment motions seeking debate on a decision of the Pakistan Telecommunication Company to retrench 4,000 of its employees and President Gen Pervez Musharraf’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in New York.

Through the first motion signed by 23 MNAs, the MMA described the PTCL’s decision as based on injustice and coercion.

The other motion signed by six women MNAs, the alliance calls the Musharraf-Sharon meeting a violation of Pakistan’s well-known policy on the Palestinian issue.
