Islamabad: Pakistani
opposition parties have vowed to block every move by the
government to restore NATO supplies to Afghanistan.
Leader of the opposition in the National Assembly Nisar Ali Khan
has said the alliance will protect the country's interest at all
costs. He was speaking at meeting of the opposition leaders here
Saturday, the Online news agency reported.
Their recommendations were expected to be presented at another
meeting Sunday to be chaired by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)
chief Nawaz Sharif.
Meanwhile, Information and Broadcasting Minister Firdous Ashiq
Awan has said that only parliament has the right to decide on
restoration of NATO supplies.
She said the parliament's security committee has submitted its
recommendations and the government will discuss the matter with
the US after the parliament takes a decision.
Islamabad had blocked NATO supplies through its territory after 28
Pakistani soldiers died in November last year in an air raid by
coalition forces on two border check posts.
