Gilgit Baltistan assembly passes resolution against Indian aggression

Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly
Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday against Indian aggression and showed complete solidarity with armed forces of Pakistan.

The resolution was tabled before the house by chairman public accounts committee Cap (retd) Sikander Ali. The house unanimously condemned the Indian air force’s aggression along the line of control. The house also praised the quick response of the Pakistan army particularly the Pakistan Air Force by shooting down two Indian aircraft.

The house said that “Pakistan is a peaceful and responsible atomic country but there is no compromise on our national security and sovereignty. If India challenges our sovereignty, we will not tolerate it and will respond with full zest”.

GB Chief Minister Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman while addressing the house said that “no one wants war because wars destroy nations, cultures and everything and the only destruction is left behind”. He further added that the country was in a state of war and “the people of GB are with our armed forces and ready to fight our conventional enemy”.

He praised Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan over his yesterday’s mature statement regarding the regional peace. He said that India will have to understand that Pakistan was also a nuclear power and Narendra Modi needed to rethink what he wanted for the people of India, war or peace.

Other members also participated in the debate. Deputy Speaker Jafarullah Khan who chaired the session announced the approval of resolution unanimously and ruled to send the copy of the resolution to the United Nation’s Gilgit Office to record our protest on Indian aggression.

The new toll announced by the national disaster agency was almost double the previous figure. Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla said the final number of dead could be in the "thousands." "It feels very tense," said 35-year-old mother Risa Kusuma, comforting her feverish baby boy at an evacuation centre in the gutted coastal city of Palu. "Every minute an ambulance brings in bodies. Clean water is scarce. The minimarkets are looted everywhere." Indonesia’s Metro TV on Sunday broadcast footage from a coastal community in Donggala, close to the epicentre of the quake, where some waterfront homes appeared crushed but a resident said most people fled to higher ground after the quake struck. "When it shook really hard, we all ran up into the hills," a ...
