Pakistan’s National Assembly on Friday passed a unanimous resolution condemning firing by Indian troops on the Line of Control (LoC) that resulted in the death of seven Pakistani soldiers. The House denounced what it described as the “unprovoked” Indian firing and “aggression” in Bhimber sector of the LoC that resulted in the casualties and paid tribute to the fallen soldiers. The resolution “expressed deep concern over the tragic incident of Indian unprovoked firing in which seven soldiers of Pakistan Army” were killed last week. On Wednesday, army chief Gen Raheel Sharif had said 11 Indian soldiers were killed in retaliatory firing on the LoC soon after the seven Pakistani troops died on November 14. India has denied that 11 soldiers were killed in firing by Pakistani troops.
