MNA Muhammad Ali Khan, stressing that he was from a tribal area, has called for a response by Pakistan to India’s strikes.

“The nation wants a responsive action. Both countries’ forces … the missiles that some from there (India) hit places here, and the missiles sent from here hit there,” he told the NA.

“We are extremely upset that they do not have any mechanism to save civilians [from these strikes].”

“We are also a voice in this country, and a citizen of this country,” he said.
