Pahalgam attack: Pak parliament condemns Indian govt's 'mala fide campaign'

Pakistan's parliament on Monday unanimously passed a resolution, condemning the Indian government's mala fide campaign to malign Pakistan in the aftermath of Pahalgam terror attack. Ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmaker Tariq Fazal Chaudhry tabled the resolution, which rejected all baseless attempts to link Pakistan to the April 22 attack in Pahalgam in which 26 people were killed. The resolution condemned the orchestrated and mala fide campaign by the Indian government to malign Pakistan, which follows a familiar pattern of exploiting the issue of terrorism for a narrow political goal. It rejected all frivolous and baseless attempts to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam attack and emphasised that the killing of innocent people was contrary to the values upheld by Pakistan. It also condemned India's unlawful and unilateral declaration to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance in blatant violation of the treaty which clearly amounts to an act of war. The resolution warn

Tensions between India and Pakistan soared after terrorists killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22. We will try to de-escalate tensions in the region, said Araghchi, who paid a day-long visit to Pakistan. He will travel to India on Thursday. "Both India and Pakistan ar
