QUETTA, Nov 14: The Balochistan assembly unanimously adopted a resolution on Friday condemning missile attacks by US and Nato forces on Pakistan’s tribal areas. It urged the federal government to implement the resolution of the joint session of the two houses of parliament.

Speaker Mohammad Aslam Bhootani ordered that copies of the provincial assembly’s resolution be sent to the ministries of foreign affairs and interior.

The house converted an adjournment motion tabled by Jaffar Khan Mandokhel of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q into a resolution and adopted it unanimously. It called upon the US and Nato forces to stop missile attacks in which innocent people were being killed.

Maulana Wasay, Sardar Aslam Bizenjo, Nasreen Khetran, Abdul Khaliq Bashardost, Rehila Durrani, Abdul Khaliq Achakzai, Mir Asad Baloch, Bano Rakshani, Mir Tariq Masuri and Ghazala Gola spoke on the resolution.

They dubbed the attacks ‘international terrorism’ which raised doubts about the role of the US as an ally because no country could challenge the sovereignty of a friendly state.

They said the government should take the issue of violation of its borders to the United Nations.

They alleged that the US was using the ‘war on terror’ to gain access to the natural resources of Central Asia.
