“This House shares the grief of the victim families, expresses solidarity with the Kashmiris,” the resolution said.
It said: “The House demands the federal government to immediately take up the recent killings of Kashmiris at the hands of the India forces to the UN requesting it to intervene and stop the bloodshed in the valley.
“Besides, the Pakistani government must raise this issue at other international forums to provide relief to the Kashmiris who are struggling for their freedom.”
The assembly passed the resolution unanimously.
