| 2007-07-02 |
| The British High Commission has refused to issue a visa to Senator Maulana Samiul Haq, chief of his own Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam faction, for the oppositionÂ’s all parties conference in London. The senator cannot appeal now against the denial of the visa for another three years. This issue was discussed in the Senate Committee for Foreign Affairs several times in the presence of Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri. The senators asked the committee chairman, Mushahid Hussain Sayed, to take serious notice of the issue and tabled a requisition for an immediate meeting of the committee to discuss the matter. The requisition was signed by Professor Khurshid Ahmad, Sardar Mehtab Abbasi, Tahir Hussain Mashadi, Telha Mahmood and Maulana Samiul Haq. |
