GILGIT: The Gilgit-Baltistan Ass­e­mbly unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday condemning India’s aggression against Pak­is­tan and killing of innocent civilians.

The house expressed its solidarity with the armed forces of the country. It condoled with the families of the martyrs and prayed for the early recovery of the injured.

The resolution said that the armed forces, through the Bunyanum Marsoos operation, rewrote history by responding to Indian aggression firmly and in a befitting manner.

The house said that the armed forces of the country defeated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s evil designs towards Pakistan during the five-day war. It urged the international community to take note of the Indian aggression and its bad intentions towards Pakistan.
