SAMAA


ISLAMABAD: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Tuesday submitted a bill to Senate Secretariat, seeking to cleanse Pakistan of illegal arms.

Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Senator Babar Ghauri said that party’s coordination committee will decide whether or not MQM will rejoin the federal cabinet.

The MQM, he said, has conveyed its apprehensions to the government.

“Under the prevailing circumstance, it is necessary to deweaponise the entire country,” he said.

“The government can restore its writ if it wants to do so.”

Overall all political parties and human rights organizations have supported our decision to submit the deweaponisation bill, he said.

On Monday MQM submitted the same bill to National Assembly Secretariat.
