ISLAMABAD, April 25 (Xinhua) -- The Senate of Pakistan on Friday unanimously passed a resolution, rejecting "Indian allegations" of linking Pakistan to a recent attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
The resolution, moved by the country's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, came in response to India's claims implicating Pakistan in the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, located in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Condemning the accusations as "frivolous and baseless," the upper house of the Pakistani Parliament stated that the country is fully capable of and prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity against any aggression, including what it termed as "water terrorism" and other military provocations.
In a strongly worded statement, the Senate rejected what it described as a "mala fide campaign" by the Indian government aimed at maligning Pakistan for political purposes.
The resolution also denounced India's unilateral move to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, calling it a "blatant violation" and labeling the act as tantamount to war.
The Senate affirmed that Pakistan will not tolerate any transgression against its sovereignty, security, or national interests.
At least 25 Indian tourists were killed and several others wounded Tuesday after unknown gunmen fired at them in the Pahalgam town. ■
