Pakistani MPs pass resolution on Riyadh-Doha rift, urge restraint

Lawmaker Aftab Sherpao said the government should take concrete steps towards forging unity amongst the Muslim Ummah in the region.

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s leader Sheerin Mazari also called on Pakistan to exit the Saudi-led military alliance, urging Islamabad to adopt a neutral role in the Middle East.

'The conflict between Qatar and Saudi Arabia has America and Israel’s finger prints all over it,' she claimed.

'[US President] Donald Trump and Israel are against a united Muslim Ummah. Pakistan should immediately exit the Islamic military alliance,' she demanded.

Speaker Ayaz Sadiq told the House that a National Security Committee session has been called on June 15 to discuss the Qatar conflict. The agenda also includes the Islamic Summit that was hosted in Riyadh last month, he said.

Awami Muslim League leader Sheikh Rashid claimed that the [war against terror] is not over yet. He added that former army chief General Raheel Sharif should not have sent Pakistani troops to Saudi Arabia.
