Pakistan parliament unanimously passes resolution on Kashmir


Islamabad, Aug 2 : Further needling India, Pakistan’s parliament has unanimously passed a resolution, condemning the alleged human rights violations in Kashmir and demanding the UN Human Rights Commission to send a fact finding mission to the Valley to investigate it. The 34th session of the National Assembly (the parliament), which began last evening with Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq in the chair, extended
its support to the Kashmiris. “The National Assembly of Pakistan strongly condemns the recent atrocities perpetrated on innocent Kashmiris by Indian security forces,” said the resolution passed late last night. It said the use of pellet guns is “deplorable and is against the canons of international humanitarian laws”. “This House denounces these reprehensible acts…It is confident that these blatant violations of international law cannot deter the valiant, oppressed people of Jammu and Kashmir from continuing to press their demand for realisation of their right to self-determination, which is enshrined in numerous UN Security Council Resolutions,” it added.
