Summary The resolution demanded federal government to raise the issue with Afghanistan.
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Resolution against the unprovoked firing of Afghan forces at Torkham border has been submitted in the Punjab Assembly today (Tuesday).
The resolution submitted by Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Punjab Assembly member Faiza Malik strongly condemned Afghan forces’ firing.
It was demanded in the resolution that Afghanistan must stop conspiracies against the peace in the region and should not hold shelling on Pakistani security forces and areas immediately.
The resolution urged federal government to raise the issue with Afghanistan and summon its ambassador.
Indiscriminate firing by Afghanistan forces is intermittently continuing on the second day while Pakistan’s ambassador was called to lodge protest a day after Foreign Office summoned Afghan diplomat. Curfew imposed in Landi Kotal has been lifted but the imposition maintains in other surrounding areas.
Major Ali Jawad has lost his life while under treatment a day after he was injured the firing.
The neighbouring country resorted to coercive methods during construction of a gate at Torkham border which is aimed at keeping a check on cross-border movement in light of different terror attacks across the country by terrorists that entered Pakistan through the route.
