"We demand of the government to immediately rescind all such hidden agreements that put the country's illusory sovereignty at stake," he said.
"The agreements, which have no record in black and white, not only led to the death of 35,000 innocent people in the ensuing war against terror but also caused financial loss of $80 billion. We consider it not only a sensitive national issue but also an offence," he added.
Rehman said that in 2001, the then government had made two accords, one with the United States about war on terror and second with India about Kashmire issue that consisted of four points.
He said his party questioned the government as to why it became a US ally and started working on Kashmire issue despite knowing that no record relating to aforementioned agreements existed.
He said his party had also decided to continue having dialogue to revive Mutahidda Majlis-i-Amal as it had produced good results in the past. "We have reached a final stage to revive the MMA," Mr Rehman responded when asked about the results of continued dialogue/meeting in this regard.
