Finance Minister Asad Umar, in a joint session of the parliament, has said that the entire Pakistani parliament stands united unlike its Indian counterpart.

"Military leadership’s job is to protect and defend the country. But political leadership’s responsibility is to ensure that such a situation does not emerge in the first place. I am proud that in the past 72 hours, Pakistani political leadership has displayed exemplary unity, whereas Indian politicians are divided. We do not see any divide among Pakistanis." — Asad Umar
