KARACHI, Nov 13: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) has submitted various adjournment motions and resolutions on different subjects to the Sindh Assembly secretariat for the Nov 18 session.

The motions and resolutions pertain to the recruitment policy, failure of law-enforcement agencies in arresting killers of Mufti Mohammad Jamil and Maulana Nazeer Ahmad Taunsvi, cancellation of contracts of fishermen operating in the coastal areas of Thatta and Badin by Rangers, and abolition of self-financing scheme, as well as increasing of merit seats, in professional and technical institutions.
