The Pakistan Senate unanimously approved a resolution that rejected the accusations of India that link Pakistan with the attack of the pahalgama in Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk) of India.
The resolution condemned all forms of terrorism, reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to peace and denounced the unilateral suspension of India of the Treaty of the Water of the Indus as a violation that could be considered an act of war.
The resolution occurs in augmented tensions after a deadly attack against tourists in Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk) illegally occupied, which India has blamed Pakistan, a position that Islamabad denies strongly denies.
The resolution reaffirmed the support for the right of the people of Kashmir to self -determination and accused India of carrying out a propaganda campaign and participating in extrajudicial murders abroad.
Speaking during the Senate session, Dar declared that after Pahalgam’s incident, Pakistan had been observing the situation to see how it would develop. He pointed out that India did not appoint Pakistan directly and did not present evidence to link Islamabad with the attack.
The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ishaq Dar, informed the Upper House about the decisions of the National Security Committee, including the expulsion of Indian diplomats, the cancellation of the SAARC visas and the closing of the border with Wagah.
He said that Pakistan’s armed forces are fully prepared to respond to any aggression and emphasized that water is a national life for 240 million Pakistani.
The opposition leader, Shibli Faraz, requested international responsibility for India’s actions, while the ANP leader Aimal Wali urged dialogue and peace, questioning the closures of selective routes.
He blamed the intransigence of India for obstructing peace and development in the region, saying that Saarc aspires to regional growth, but the obstinacy of a country continues to retain it.
The United Nations urged India and Pakistan on Thursday to exercise “maximum restriction” after an attack in Pahalgam that left 26 people dead.
The UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said that Secretary General António Guterres had not had direct contact with any of the governments in the last 24 hours, but was monitoring the situation “very closely and with great concern.”
“We were very clear in our conviction of the attack that occurred in Pahalgam, who killed a large number of civilians,” Dujarric said during a press conference in New York.
He asked both nations with nuclear weapons to avoid greater escalation and solve the differences peacefully.
