محرک کا نام:  رانا ثناء اللہ خاں، وزیر قانون

"صوبائی اسمبلی پنجاب کا یہ ایوان لائن آف کنٹرول پر جاری حالیہ بھارتی جارحیت کی پُرزور الفاظ میں مذمت کرتا ہے۔ تحریک آزادی کشمیر میں نئی جان پڑنے کے بعد سے بھارتی حکومت بدحواسی کا شکار ہے اور اس کی ظالم فوج کے ہاتھوں درجنوں بے گناہ کشمیری شہید ہو چکے ہیں اور بے شمار کو پیلٹ گن کے استعمال سے نابینا اور زخمی کیا جا چکا ہے۔ اب بھارتی سیکورٹی فورسز ان واقعات سے عالمی توجہ ہٹانے کے لئے اپنی روائتی بزدلی کا مظاہرہ کرتے ہوئے شہری آبادی پر مسلسل بلااشتعال فائرنگ کر رہی ہیں اور پاک فوج کے ساتھ ساتھ معصوم بچوں سمیت عام شہریوں کو اپنی جارحیت کا نشانہ بنا کر بین الاقوامی قوانین کی مسلسل خلاف ورزی کی مرتکب ہو رہی ہیں۔ یہاں تک کہ بسوں اور ایمبولینس پر بھی حملے کئے جا رہے ہیں۔

یہ ایوان بھارتی جارحیت کا منہ توڑ جواب دینے پر پاک فوج کو خراج تحسین پیش کرتا ہے اور شہید ہونے والے فوجی افسران اور جوانوں کی شجاعت کو سلام پیش کرتا ہے۔ یہ ایوان بھارتی جارحیت کے نتیجے میں ہونے والی سول اور فوجی شہادتوں پر اظہار غم کرتا ہے اور شہداء کی بلندی درجات کے لئے دُعاگو ہے۔
