Referendum in Pakistan over Osama killing

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), a key coalition partner of the PPP-led government, will hold a national ‘referendum’ on May 17 over a covert US operation against Osama bin Laden which the party says has violated Pakistan’s sovereignty. “We want the voices of the people to be heard. They can take part in this national referendum by filling in the form by May 17th the findings of which we will release,” Anees Qaimkhani, a senior member of the MQM central committee, said.
