The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) on Tuesday submitted an adjournment motion with the National Assembly Secretariat demanding a debate on recent statements by Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, that Pakistan was providing the US information about the activities of nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan. "In her statement she also said that US could control Pakistan's nuclear programme," in case the government of General Pervez Musharraf were replaced by one headed by extremists, the motion said. The motion said that General (r) Jehangir Karamat, former chief of army staff and now Pakistan's ambassador to the US, had admitted that Pakistan had given the US all the required information about Khan. "And in response to this, the US authorities asked for more information and that was also provided," it said. The motion said that Pakistanis wanted to know how the US would be able to "control" Pakistan's nuclear programme. It demanded that the government unveil all the steps taken by the US to keep Khan restricted. The motion was submitted with the signatures of 14 members of the National Assembly of the MMA.
