New Delhi:
The Lok Sabha Friday passed a resolution rejecting a motion of the
Pakistan National Assembly attacking the hanging of Indian
parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, and asked it to desist from
such acts of support for terrorism.
"This house totally rejects the resolution passed by the National
Assembly of Pakistan on March 14," said Speaker Meira Kumar,
reading out the resolution amid thumping of desks by the members
across all political divides.
Afzal Guru was hanged and buried in Tihar jail Feb 9.
"The house rejects interference in the internal affairs of India
and calls upon the National Assembly of Pakistan to desist from
acts of support for extremists and terrorists," the speaker said.
The speaker further said that only fulfilment of Pakistan's
commitment that "it will not allow its territory to be used for
terrorism against India" can be the basis for peaceful relations
with the neighbouring country.
The speaker also stressed that the border state of Jammu and
Kashmir, including the (Pakistan) occupied territories, was an
integral part of India.
"The house reiterates that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir
including territory under illegal occupation of Pakistan is and
shall always be an integral part of India," said the speaker.
She cautioned that "any attempt from any quarter to interfere in
the internal affairs of India will be met resolutely and with
complete unity of our nation".
