Pakistan”s National Assembly (NA) has rejected a resolution calling for a ban on liquor. The resolution called for imposing a ban on the manufacturing, import, sale and drinking of liquor and issuing permits in the country.
According to the Daily Times, PML-N”s MNA Chaudhry Hamid Hameed moved the resolution. However, the House rejected the resolution when State Minister for Interior Baleeghur Rahman contended that issuing a ban on liquor was of no use. He said that there was already a ban in place to bar the ”common man” in the country from drinking. (ANI)
