<b>Opposition moves Senate on sale of land to US</b>

ISLAMABAD : The opposition on Wednesday moved the Senate seeking an in-house debate on the sale of national land to the United States for building a military base near Tarbela.

Leader of the nine-senator Independent Group in the Upper House Prof Khurshid Ahmad submitted an adjournment motion to the Senate Secretariat in this connection. Senator Khurshid, who also heads Jamaat-e-Islami’s legislators in the Senate, strongly condemned the sale of the land to the US army and termed it an act of treason.

In the motion, he expressed his resentment on the claim of Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen that the US had purchased the piece of land only 20 kilometres away from the federal capital.
