ISLAMABAD, September 27: The National Assembly Tuesday has passed a unanimous resolution condemning the Indian claim in the UN General Assembly that Jammu and Kashmir is integral part of India.
The resolution moved by Syed Naveed Qamar said Indian External Affairs Minister in her speech in the UNGA ignored the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is still on the agenda of UNSC and Indian Occupied Kashmir is universally accepted disputed territory.The House resented the parallels drawn between Jammu and Kashmir, a recognized disputed territory and Balochistan, an integral part of sovereign Pakistan. The House warned foreign perpetrators of terrorism inside Pakistan to look towards their own policies of terror funding and terror peddling.The resolution said the Modi government has a history of threats with the misguided belief that Pakistan will move away from its support to innocent Kashmiris being butchered by Indian forces.
The House believes that peace and progress is depended upon good neighborly relations and the only way forward is through constructive dialogue and not the current threats being issued by Indian Prime Minister to unilaterally terminate the Indus Water Treaty agreement.
Meanwhile, rising on a point of order, Leader of the Opposition Syed Khurshid Ahmad Shah demanded convening of joint session of the Parliament for discussion on Kashmir issue in the wake of bellicose statements issued by Indian leadership.
He said India is raising new issues to pressurize Pakistan. He said Kashmir issue has acquired importance due to increased atrocities by the Indian forces in Occupied Kashmir. He said there is a need to hold a thorough debate in the Parliament on the issue.-Agencies
