ISLAMABAD, July 29: Four members, three belonging to opposition and one from treasury benches, on Friday requisitioned a meeting of the National Assembly standing committee on finance and revenue to discuss the stock market scam, a source told Dawn.

Through the requisition notice, the source said, the members had submitted a three-point agenda to be discussed in the meeting.

The members have asked the chairman of the committee, Chaudhry Anwar Ali Cheema, to discuss the “role of Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) in the stock market manipulation of 2006, and action taken by the regulator against those who violated the rules.”
