PRESS RELEASE
Pakistan Peace Coalition wants military sales to be scraped
Pakistan Peace Coalition has welcomed the government announcement that, in view of the gigantic task of reconstruction and rehabilitation of the unfortunate quake victims of Kashmir and Hazara, it is going to revise the F-16 fighter aircraft purchase deal. It said that at a time when the task of reconstruction and rehabilitation was going to cost several billion dollars, it would be mindless and obscene to continue to spend billions of the people's hard earned money on defence purchases and yet shamelessly extend the begging bowl before the world for more aid for earthquake relief.
