ISLAMABAD: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) along with Jamiat
Ulema-e-Islam(F) staged walk –out and protested on Tuesday when matters
of target killing and incidents of deteriorating peace in Karachi and
Quetta were sidelined in the National Assembly(NA) Session.
National
Assembly session was planned according to the Private Member Day Agenda
whereas MQM said the session was set to discuss the matters of target
killings, peace and stability matters in Karachi and Quetta. They
staged token walk-out from NA whereas JUI(F) also joined them in the
symbolic walk-out.
