QUETTA: The Balochistan Assembly on Monday unanimously passed a resolution condemning the Nato attack on Salala checkpost demanding permanent withdrawal of facilities to US led allied forces stationed in Afghanistan.

Speaker Muhammad Aslam Bhootani presided over the session. Senior Minister and the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F parliamentary leader Maulana Abdul Wasey, Minister for Works and the Pakistan Peoples Party deputy parliamentary leader Ali Madad Jatak, Minister for Revenue and Awami National Party leader Eng. Zamarak Khan Piralizai and Minister for Minorities Jay Parakash moved the joint resolution.

The resolution reads that this house strongly condemned the Nato Forces' brutal bombardment on Pakistani checkpost in Salala in which a number of army officials and soldiers embraced martyrdom.

It further said that this house asks the provincial government to approach the Federal Government to take every possible step for compensating the families of the soldiers killed.

Speaking on the resolution, Piralizai appreciated the Federal Government steps to withdraw facilities to the US and Nato forces including evacuation of Shamshi airbase.

Parakash demanded that the US government should apologize for the attack besides guaranteeing that no such attacks would be carried out in future.
