SRINAGAR : Pakistan National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser has written letters to his counterparts in 178 parliaments all over the world to bring to their attention the deteriorating situation in South Asia and the recent aggressive acts of India in Kashmir.
In his letter, the speaker wrote about the continuous violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity by India, which had brought the region to the brink of war and devastation.
“In the early hours of February 26, 2019, Indian aircraft violated Pakistan’s airspace on the pretext of attacking an alleged militant camp. Indian planes were effectively intercepted by the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) jets and forced to withdraw while randomly releasing their ordnance that landed in Pakistan’s uninhabited remote area,” he added.
He said Pakistan strongly rejected the purported Indian claims of having targeted any installation and resultant casualties. “It is completely absurd and is based on false narrative designed to placate domestic audience. Pakistan, while reserving its right to respond against Indian aggression, kept its calm and warned India to avoid further escalating the situation.”
The speaker said, “India continues with its unprovoked ceasefire violations along the Line of Control in the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in deaths of several innocent civilians.
The speaker also shared the copy of the unanimous resolution passed by a special joint-session of Pakistan’s parliament calling upon the international community to play its due role in bringing peace to South Asia. (PTK)
