ISLAMABAD: The Senate of Pakistan has unanimously passed a resolution categorically rejecting India’s allegations linking Pakistan to the recent Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), describing the claims as unfounded and politically driven.
The resolution, adopted during a Senate session, strongly condemned all acts of terrorism and affirmed that targeting innocent civilians runs counter to Pakistan’s fundamental values.
Lawmakers also denounced India’s orchestrated propaganda campaign and its unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, calling the move a serious violation that could be construed as an act of war.
The resolution warned that Pakistan remains fully capable of defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of any hostile action.
Reiterating Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination, the Senate demanded that India be held accountable for its involvement in acts of terrorism and targeted killings abroad, including incidents on Pakistani soil.
The resolution came in response to India’s sweeping actions against Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam shooting, which included suspending the decades-old water-sharing treaty, closing the main land border crossing, downgrading diplomatic ties, and cancelling visas for Pakistani citizens.
In retaliation, Pakistan expelled Indian diplomats and military representatives, revoked visas for Indian nationals—excluding Sikh pilgrims—and closed the border crossing from its side.
The United Nations has urged both countries to exercise “maximum restraint,” emphasising that all disputes must be resolved peacefully through meaningful dialogue.
