Islamabad: Pakistan Parliament’s joint session on Friday passed an unanimous resolution strongly condemning as “aggression” India’s counter-terrorism operation in the country. The resolution was moved by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi who earlier announced that he was to skipping meeting of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation over the invitation to Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj. Indian fighter jets bombed terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed’s biggest training camp near Balakot deep inside Pakistan early Tuesday. In the operation, a very large number of JeM terrorists, trainers, senior commanders and groups of jihadis who were being trained for suicide attacks were eliminated.
The House rejected as “self-serving” and “fictitious” India’s claims of having destroyed terrorist facility and causing heavy casualties. The resolution said that “facts on the grounds clearly contradict India’s false claim and so have been testified by independent observers”. The resolution noted that timely and “effective action of Pakistan Air force repulsed the Indian attack without loss of life and property”. The resolution recalled Pakistan’s offer of assistance to India in investigating the February 14 Pulwama terror attack that left 40 CRPF personnel dead. Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed has claimed responsibility for the attack.
