NSC meets tomorrow sans Fazl, Durrani
2005-02-27
ISLAMABAD: President Pervez Musharraf will chair the fourth meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) at its secretariat in Islamabad tomorrow (Monday). Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, provincial chief ministers, Senate chairman Mohammadmian Soomro, National Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain, opposition leader in the National Assembly Maulana Fazlur Rehman and the services chiefs have been invited to attend the meeting. However, Maulana Fazlur Rehman and NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani have rejected the invitation, saying the NSC meeting should be presided over by the PM instead of the president. Official sources said the council was likely to discuss the situation in Balochistan, proposed large dams, country's energy needs, ordinance for the registration of religious seminaries, changes in syllabi, law and order and ongoing Pakistan-India talks. Sources said Javed Ashraf Qazi, Ejazul Haq and Akram Sheikh would also attend the meeting.
