The resolution moved by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, said, "The House congratulates the Army for taking steps to protect the country and people and fully supports its action".
The resolution said talks at the diplomatic and political level have to be taken forward to avoid further worsening of the tense situation and to find solution to the problem.
The House also asked the Centre to take necessary vigilant steps to prevent similar attacks like Pathankot and Uri and at the same time continue efforts to find a solution to the problem at the diplomatic level.
In a brief speech, Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala while extending full support to the government motion, said, "I salute the Indian Army for their brilliant action".
