Full text: Resolution passed by India against Pakistan on LoC killings

Indian Parliament on Wednesday took a strong stand against Pakistan and passed a resolution against it over the recent killings if Indian jawans along the LoC by Pakistani troops. In a strongly-worded resolution, India warned Pakistan that, "Our restraint should not be taken for granted nor should the capacity of our armed forces to ensure the territorial integrity of our nation." Following is the full text of the resolution:

Honourable members,

This House rejects and deplores the resolution passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan on August 13, 2013 and the provincial Assembly of Punjab, which make absolutely baseless and unfounded allegations against Indian Army and the people of India. There should be absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind including members of the Pakistan National Assembly that it was the Pakistan Army that was involved in the unprovoked attack on an Indian Army patrol on our side of the LoC, on August 6, 2013.

It is unfortunate that Pakistan chose to indulge in such unprovoked attacks at a time when efforts were being made to establish a long-lasting framework of peaceful, friendly and co-operative ties so that both countries may hence forward devote their resources and energies to the pressing task of advancing the welfare of their people.

India is not a threat to Pakistan or the people of Pakistan. It is the terrorist groups that have been nurtured by Pakistan to target India and have become the biggest threat in the region. This House also strongly condemns the action of the Pakistan Army and reiterate once again that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir including the territory forcibly and illegally occupied by Pakistan is an integral part of India and will always remain so.

India upholds the sanctity of the Line of Control and calls upon the government of Pakistan to abide by the ceasefire commitment of 2003 along the International Border and Line of Control both in letter and spirit. This House pays tribute to the courage and valour of the Indian armed force personnel who laid down their lives while upholding the sanctity of the Line of Control. Our restraint should not be taken for granted nor should the capacity of our armed forces to ensure the territorial integrity of our nation.
