Faisal Saleh urges Opp to protest Aafia’s detention
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) parliamentary leader Faisal Saleh Hayat on Wednesday urged opposition parties to stage a protest and sit-in outside the US embassy in favour of Dr
Aafia Siddiqui.
Taking part in a discussion on an adjournment motion regarding the bomb blast at the Special Investigation Building in Lahore, Faisal criticised both the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) for only targeting the Musharraf-era’s policy. He said both parties had failed to bring any positive change in the country despite a lapse of two years. They did not waste any opportunity for criticising General (r) Musharraf and his party, but despite the mandate given by the people in the 2008 elections, not a single policy of Musharraf has been changed,
he claimed.
Speaking on the floor of the House, Faisal said the PML-N should play its role as a major opposition party to press the government for change. He suggested the opposition leader to lead a rally and a sit-in in front of the US embassy against the detention of Dr Aafia. He said no one from the opposition or the treasury discussed the issues of Dr Aafia and drone attacks with US Secretary of States Hillary Clinton during her visit
to Pakistan.
