Pakistan’s Parliament on Monday passed a unanimous resolution against India, terming New Delhi's countermeasures against Islamabad in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack "a campaign" to malign the country's image.
On April 22, terrorists suspected to have links with Pakistan opened fire on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, resulting in the brutal killing of 26 people, mostly holidayers.
Calling the government of India's actions part of a “familiar pattern of exploiting terrorism for political gain,” the resolution said the attempt to malign Pakistan lacked evidence and credibility.
The resolution, which was tabled by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmaker Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, rejected attempts to link Pakistan to the April 22 attack.
It rejected “all frivolous and baseless attempts to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam attack” and emphasised that the killing of innocent people was contrary to the values upheld by Pakistan, PTI news agency reported.
The resolution also aimed at India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it an “unlawful and unilateral” move that amounts to an act of war under international law.
