S African Parliament unanimously condemns Pulwama terror attack

In a rare move, South African lawmakers have unanimously passed a motion in Parliament condemning the Pulwama attack and called on Pakistan to find the perpetrators of the "dastardly" terror strike.

Member of Parliament Sandy Kalyan from the opposition Democratic Alliance moved the motion which called on the House to note with shock and dismay the terrorist attack by Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.

The motion also condemned the cowardly act of terrorism, the likes of which had not been seen in three decades in Kashmir.

It called on the government of Pakistan to find the perpetrators of this dastardly act as it also saluted the fallen Jawaans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and conveyed condolences to the families and the nation of India for this tragic loss."
The South African Government wishes to reiterate its solidarity with the Government of India in confronting the scourge of terrorism and will continue to support regional and international efforts to address terrorism in all its forms,
