RAWALPINDI: The Government-Opposition Round Table Conference on political and constitutional issues facing the country will begin tomorrow [Feb 26] at 10-30 a.m. at the President’s Guest House. This was announced here this evening by Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan, Convener of the Democratic Action Committee at the end of a two-hour meeting of the DAC — the second during the day.

Independent leaders — Air Marshal Asghar Khan, Mr Justice Murshed and Lt-Gen Azam Khan —have also agreed to attend the conference, Nawabzada Saheb said.

President Ayub’s 15-member team for the conference also held a four-hour meeting this morning at the President’s House. The team’s spokesman, Mr Qasim Malik, later said the meeting had a general discussion on the basis of some of the recent statements of the Opposition leaders.

The Six-Point Awami League chief, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who had arrived here last night with a 16-member team which included three legal experts, was present at both the sessions of the DAC today.

Asked by newsmen, [Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan] declined to spell out the demands which the DAC leaders had agreed today to take to the Round Table Conference. — Correspondent
