Islamabad, Pakistan – The Pakistan Senate on Friday (April 25) unanimously passed a resolution strongly condemning India’s attempt to link Pakistan to a recent deadly attack in India-held Kashmir.

The resolution, passed on April 25, 2025, specifically rejected “all frivolous and baseless attempts” to connect Pakistan with the Pahalgam attack which occurred on April 22, 2025, in “Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.”

The attack took place in Pahalgam, a popular tourist area, where gunmen opened fire on visitors, resulting in at least 26 deaths and 17 injuries. The victims were reportedly all men from across India except one from Nepal.

Pakistan’s Senate resolution stated that it “condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations” and emphasised that the killing of innocent civilians is contrary to Pakistan’s values. It also condemned what it described as “the orchestrated and mala fide campaign by the Indian government to malign Pakistan,” calling it a “familiar pattern of exploiting the issue of terrorism for a narrow political goal”.

Pakistan’s National Security Committee had earlier urged India to “refrain from its reflexive blame game and cynical, staged managed exploitation of incidents like Pahalgam”.

Following the attack, New Delhi reportedly took several aggressive measures against Pakistan. India unilaterally moved to suspend the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, which was brokered by the World Bank and has historically endured despite conflicts. The Senate’s resolution called this action a “blatant violation of the Treaty which clearly amounts to an act of war”. India also reportedly shut its borders and downgraded diplomatic ties, claiming Pakistan’s support for cross-border terrorism without offering evidence.

The Pakistan Senate warned that the country “remains fully capable and prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity against any aggression, including water terrorism or military provocation,” referencing its response in February 2019.

It stated that “any misadventure by India will be met with a firm, swift and decisive response”. The resolution affirmed the commitment of the people of Pakistan to peace, while vowing they “will never allow anyone to transgress the country’s sovereignty, security, and interests”.

Furthermore, the resolution demanded that India be held accountable “for its involvement in different acts of terrorism and targeted assassinations on the soil of other countries, including Pakistan”. The Senate concluded by reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering support for “the Kashmiri people’s just struggle for realisation of their inalienable right to self-determination”.

The Senate of Pakistan, constitutionally the House of the Federation, is the upper house of the bicameral Parliament of Pakistan.
