NDA MPs to meet president over ‘capitulation’ to Pakistan
July 27th, 2009 - 6:51 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, July 27 (IANS) MPs from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani, will Tuesday meet President Pratibha Patil over the government’s “capitulation” to Pakistan on terrorism and other foreign policy issues, party leaders said.
All 159 MPs from the NDA, including 116 of the BJP, would call on the president at 1 p.m. to oppose the country’s foreign policy in general and the India-Pakistan joint statement in Egypt in particular, BJP deputy leader in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj told reporters.
The protest would be a day ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement on the India-Pakistan issue in parliament.
Swaraj reiterated her party’s stance that Manmohan Singh had capitulated to Pakistan by agreeing to delink the issue of terrorism from the composite dialogue process between the two neighbouring countries.
The joint statement between the two countries was signed in Sharm-el-Sheikh after a meeting between Manmohan Singh and Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
