‘PML-N to wage drive against WPB’

Published November 26, 2006

KASUR, Nov 25: The women’s bill is in conflict with Quran and the PML-N will join a countrywide drive against its approval.

This was stated by Sirdar Zulfiqar Khosa while addressing public meetings at Mustafabad, Glan Hathar, and Kanganpur on Saturday.

Prominent among the participants were PML-N general secretary Raja Ashfaq Sarwar, district nazim Rana M. Hayat, former provincial minister Rana M. Iqbal.

The PML-N had however abstained when the National Assembly voted on the bill.

Mr Khosa said Musharraf government had passed the “unIslamic bill just to please his foreign masters”.

He said the PML-N would boycott the by-election which the government was threatening to hold in case religious alliance members quit the NA and senate.
