A day after the National Assembly of Pakistan passed a resolution of condemnation of the execution of the Indian Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru terror and demand that his body back to his family, both houses of Parliament rejected the Pakistan resolution.
The Indian Parliament asked the National Assembly of Pakistan "refrain from such acts of support for extremist and terrorist elements".
In identical resolutions moved by their presiding officers--the speaker Meira Kumar in the Lok Sabha (lower house) and President Hamid Ansari in the Rajya Sabha (upper house)--yesterday the both houses rejected "interference in the internal affairs of India", each with claims that "this Parliament fully the resolution adopted by the National Assembly of Pakistan on 14 March 2013 rejects" House.
Noting that Pakistan has committed that it would not allow its territory to be used for terrorism against India, declared resolutions adopted unanimously by the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha that "only the fulfilment of such undertaking, the basis for peaceful relations with Pakistan are can".
The two houses also repeated that "the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir, including the territory under illegal occupation of Pakistan, is and always will be an integral part of India".
Both houses claimed: "any attempt of each quarter to interfere in the internal affairs of India will be met with a firm and complete unity of our nation."
The increasing political tensions between the two countries also made waves outside Parliament, with the Indian Government decide to call off the coming Indo-Pak hockey series. The Pakistan hockey team was scheduled to tour India in mid-april for five games by the Test, which was to be followed by a return visit by the Indian team.
The simmering tension following further three days ago when terrorists CRPF personnel at Srinagar in the first fidayeen (suicide attacked) the recent beheading of an Indian soldier along the control line in J & K flared up attack in the Kashmir Valley in the past three years. The Indian Government had pointed to a Pakistani hand behind the attack.
The Indian Parliament hard-hitting response came today after several political parties in both houses expressed serious concerns over the National Assembly Pakistan resolution yesterday.
In the Rajya Sabha when the House met in the morning, opposition leader Arun Jaitley said India should ' forget ' seriously even run a "extra yard ' in the normalisation of relations with Pakistan, even as he the United Progressive Alliance Government led by the Congress, on how the country was being" kicked around "on external relations.
Jaitley said the National Assembly Pakistan resolution was an "official stamp of approval" from that country to the whole community to build on the 2001 terror attack on the Indian Parliament, one of the worst terrorist attacks in the country. "In addition to interference in the domestic affairs of India, the (Pakistani) resolution is an official statement of the whole community to build Pakistan endorsing the terrorist attacks," said Jaitley.
Whereas India always the side of Pakistan in Parliament attack had suspected, he said, "Yesterday's resolution seems to have confirmed our fears" that the attacks were planned and carried out by Pakistan.
Referring to the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's "generous" review of an "extra mile" walk in normalization ties with Pakistan, Jaitley said, "after a series of provocations, we would ask him that mention a mile, he can now forgotten even run an extra yard.
Pakistan do not deserve this. " On the contrary, he added, "Pakistan must now go the extra two miles for us to resume normal relations."
In the Lok Sabha increased party leader Yashwant Sinha (BJP) the senior Indian people the issue saying "I request that this Parliament adopted a resolution on replies to an appropriate National Assembly of the Pakistan resolution need to report."
He also had that attempting to provoke the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Immediately, the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kamal Nath said the issue concerned "the nation's sovereignty and integrity" and "all of us are deeply concerned about the resolution passed by the Parliament of Pakistan".
Nath called than the speaker to move from a resolution of the President on behalf of the whole House.
