Pak Senate to take up national security council bill

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Islamabad, Feb 7, IRNA - The Senate of Pakistan will meet on 
February 13 to take up the National Security Council bill, paving way 
for its formation. 
After approval by the Upper House, the bill will go to the 
National Assembly (Lower House of the Parliament), possibly next week.
Under the bill, the council will be formed with representation 
from the Army, Air Force, Navy and the four federating units. 
President General Pervez Musharraf will head it, while Defense 
Minister will so be its member. 
The combined opposition has already rejected the idea of the 
council, saying there was no need for such an institution. 
The coalition government, which has simple majority in the 
Parliament is expected to get the bill approved.
