Parliament unanimously adopts resolution against Indian aggression

ISLAMABAD: Joint Parliament session on Friday unanimously adopted a resolution against Indian aggression tabled by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

The resolution stated that following the Pulwama attack, India levelled baseless allegations against Pakistan, but failed to provide evidence supporting their allegations to Islamabad despite repetitive offers by Pakistan.

Swift action of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) of downing two Indian warplanes that violated Pakistani airspaces on February 27 was lauded.

“The whole nation pays rich tribute to the PAF for a befitting response to Indian provocation and proud of Squadron leader Hassan Siddiqui,” the resolution read.

The house thanked the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for denouncing the Indian aggression and urged the United Nations to condemn the same for developing a horrifying situation in the region.

The house through its resolution demanded to stop rights violations in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK) and called upon the international community to take notice of the matter and stop India from this brutal assault.

Kashmiris should be given their right to self determination according to the United Nations (UN) resolutions, the resolution state.

The joint session of the Parliament was called on Thursday to discuss the prevailing situation of the region after Indian aggression.

The soaring tensions reached a new height between the two neighbouring countries as two fighter jets of Indian Air Force were shot down by Pakistan Air Force on Wednesday.
