QUETTA: The Balochistan Assembly through a joint resolution on Wednesday condemned the Indian air attack and airspace violation in Muzaffrabad in the darkness of the night and called upon the federal government to take up the issue of India aggression at all world forums and ask the international community to take notice of the situation and expose the belligerance of India.

The resolution signed by the treasury and opposition parties was moved by Abdul Khaliq Hazara, adviser to the chief minister on sports, at a special session of the house summoned by the governor.

The chief minister and members from both sides of the aisle said the entire house and the people of Balochistan stood by the armed forces to give a befitting reply to the Indian forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi who wanted to impose war on Pakistan just to win upcoming elections.

The resolution said that such cowardly attacks were an old approach of the clever enemy and when the Pakistan Air Force retaliated and took action against the India aggression, the India fighters were compelled to escape.
