ISLAMABAD:
The PPP lawmakers in the National Assembly submitted an adjournment motion on Tuesday for discussion on the worsening Indian atrocities in the Indian held Kashmir (IHK).
“We the undersigned request that the House should immediately discuss the massacre and bloodbath carried out by Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the death of more than 32 innocent Kashmiris and injured hundreds,” read the resolution.
The motion – submitted by Shazia Mari, Azra Fazal, Nafisa Shah, Imran Laghari, Beelum Husnain and Noman Islam – says such blatant use of force in IHK is intolerable and unbearable. “It is not only a violation of international laws but also a sheer negation of basic human rights of Kashmiris,” it says.
