LAHORE, March 18: The Punjab Assembly on Friday unanimously passed a resolution condemning US drone attacks inside the Pakistani territory.
The resolution, tabled by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MPA Begum Khwaja Naseem, stated that the US drone attacks in the tribal areas were a breach of national sovereignty.
The resolution condemned Thursday’s attack in North Waziristan in which at least 40 civilians were killed and demanded the government to adopt a clear stance on drone strikes.
The house, subsequently, adopted the resolution unanimously.
The US strikes are deeply unpopular among the Pakistani public, who say attacks have often killed innocent civilians.
