ISLAMABAD: The Council of Pakistan Defence (CPD) Saturday decided that it will now stage its sit-in at Aabpara Chowk instead of outside the parliament house as planned earlier on Feb 20, DawnNews reported.

The council had announced to lodge a protest in front of the National Assembly building against drone attacks in Pakistan’s tribal areas, Nato supply routes and award of Most favourite Nation (MFN) status to India.

But since there will be no session called for the day (Feb 20), the raabita committee of the council decided to change the venue.
